Heritage is Open - LS6 Living Museum

U

The LS6 Living Museum, supported by the Hyde Park Picture House, would like to capture your memories, stories and photos of the local area.

This event is FREE and there is no booking required. Please drop in to the cinema at any time between 11am - 3pm. 

You can pick up a Memories leaflet at the cinema or you can find the digital version here.

We want to hear your stories and memories to help build up a ‘living picture’ of the Hyde Park area, and how it has changed over the years. We want to hear from individuals and families, whether you’ve been here a short time or a long time.

We’re particularly interested in the area around the Hyde Park Picture House, Brudenell Road / Queens Road / Chestnut Avenue area. If you have memories of going to the Hyde Park Picture House cinema or know somebody who does, we would love to hear from you.

You’ll be able to contribute your memories to the museum, show us your photos and find out more about the local area that we all call home.

So, if you’ve lived in LS6 and worked here, taken children to school or gone to school here yourself, run a business, played in a band or been a student here, we’d love to hear from you so that we can capture your stories and photos and add them to the museum.

You can also send your memories & photographs to LS6LivingMuseum@gmail.com
