We invite you on a guided tour of the City Centre to explore hidden aspects of the radical history of Leeds. Your host, local activist, researcher and historian Shaun Cohen, will illuminate forgotten history of Leeds and some aspects not normally heard about:
- The Leeds connection with Sylvia Pankhurst and Keir Hardy
- What happened when Suffragettes and Anarchists were in the same place at the same time?
- What links have Leeds, the Blanketeers Uprising and the Yorkshire Rebellion?
- Are you aware of the Marx, Engels and Lenin connections to Leeds?
These and many other unknowns will be illuminated by Shaun on his trip through Leeds, expected to last around 90 minutes. If you’ve enjoyed Shaun’s walk in the past, please come again as he has much new information to share.
We will start from the steps of the LEEDS CITY MUSEUM, Millenium Square, LS2 8BH Click here for map
