 Welcome to our web-site

We are back!!

South Leeds Archaeology is in the process of reforming following the difficult time during co-vid.

Meetings are now being planned in order to start a programme of activities centered around opportunities for projects based on fieldwork.  See the meetings panel.

Please note that our 2024 January and February meetings are rearranged to Friday evenings at the same venue due to prior bookings by the hub.

Fieldwork is planned to continue to investigate the colliery buildings at Birstall, starting Sunday 27th August.

We are also in discussions with Temple Newsom House and are planning archaeology within the park for 2024.
