There are 18 historic buildings or monuments at risk in West Leeds in 2018, according to a recent council report. History buff MARK STEVENSON starts a new series of articles by looking at two plaques under threat in Armley Park…

Hidden away in Armley Park are two Glazed terracotta plaques, probably Burmantofts Pottery.
Burmantofts was world-famous for work like this and examples of Burmantofts’ tile can be found all over Leeds.Â

These two plaques date from around the opening of the park in 1897. Â
They are both listed and considered to be at risk.Â
