Leeds & District Association of the National Trust
In this illustrated talk, Emeritus Professor Joyce Hill, will draw upon her linguistic expertise to uncover the deep history of Leeds by showing us what lies behind the names we are so familiar with - the name of Leeds itself, the major streets of the city centre and some of the surrounding areas, separate from the tiny village of Leeds at the time of the Norman Conquest, but very much part of the city today.
