A group of volunteers have delved into hundreds of years of Leeds heritage to create a new mining trail at Temple Newsam.

The estate’s new Blot on the Landscape Mining Trail gives visitors the chance to explore the fascinating story of coal mining at Temple Newsam.

Coal mining at the east Leeds estate took place from the 1700s through to the opencast mining operations in 1987.
