You & Me, Me & You mural, Leeds

Highlight • Monument

Over the past year designer Anthony Burrill and Laura Wellington's In Good Company have been working together to bring the city a message of hope and unity for the years ahead. And, let's face it, in the absence of hugs, and whilst we're still restricted by social distancing these words feel more important than ever.

The mural was made possible by a partnership with funding and support from local property King & Co who worked closely with Laura and Anthony to make to the project happen. We love that the striking artwork is also visible from the water, shining a light on Leeds historical past as a thriving port city and showing off our beautiful River Aire.

Anthony Burrill studied Graphic Design at Leeds Beckett University and is over the moon to have been given the opportunity to create a permanent artwork in the city where he learned his craft. The project was curated by Laura Wellington of In Good Company, a Leeds based organisation that brought a splash of colour to the city in 2020 with it's large scale billboard project 'Posters For The People'.

The Calls Waterfront

Highlight • River

It is thought that in Roman times there was a ford over the River Aire near the present Leeds Bridge.[2][3] "The Calls" was originally an open space mainly of orchards, but is now a built up area.[3] The Calls area along with neighbouring Clarence Dock served as docks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Aire and Calder Navigation throughout the industrial revolution and the early 20th century.

The area's decline began in the early 20th century when Leeds' industry moved away from the centre out towards Hunslet, Holbeck, Armley and Kirkstall. From 1985 to 1995 Leeds Corporation carried out a major regeneration with careful conversion of listed building warehouses and new build in sympathetic style for a mixed use area. This includes the historic Fletlands Corn Mills into a boutique hotel, 42 The Calls Hotel, in 1991. The Centenary Footbridge by Ove Arup & Partners across the river to Brewery Wharf was opened in 1993. A silver ball fountain was installed to commemorate this work.[9]

Crown Point Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Very nicely constructed bridge - you can pass under it on the south bank, but have to cross the road on the north side (despite what the komoot map suggests).
