Description: | c1997-98
Councillor Linda Middleton, Lord Mayor of Leeds, and former councillor Richard Hughes-Rowlands inspect a panel of the Leeds Tapestry 2000 at Leeds General Infirmary on the occasion of the opening of its new Heart Department. Leeds Tapestry 2000 is a collaged embroidery telling the story of the city's life through a series of 16 panels (measuring 2.4 metres x 1.5 metres), each representing a different theme, including Education, Health and Transport. This panel, 'Pro Rege et Lege' ('for King and Law', as on the city's coat of arms) represents the legal sector and was the first one to be completed in 1995. The tapestry was facilitated and designed by Leeds textile artist Kate Russell, but volunteers and organisations from all walks of life, including people aged from 4 to 94, were involved in the production. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lord Mayor Leeds Tapestry 2000 Linda Middleton Leeds General Infirmary | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
