Mabgate Mural
Description
A short walk away from the city centre - in a post industrial area undergoing regeneration.
The Mabgate Mural was unveiled in 1987. Students from the local school researched local stories of West Indians in Leeds but information proved difficult to find so the design figured the students themselves. The windows became a kind of timeline showing different periods and figure the student’s portraits documenting the arrival of West Indians in Leeds and the various work they and others undertook to make a living in this area. The students took a lot of ownership of the mural and this pride and recognition of its importance has continued to the present day.
