#12DaysofVGM - Day 7 🎄 Our stunning clock tower mosaic 😍 Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the clock was crafted by Leeds clockmakers William Potts & Sons for £630. The main “Going Train” ran for 8 days on a single wind, while the “Striking Train” needed winding every two days.

It’s day 1 of our #12daysofVGM and we’re starting off with a lookback at a special visit from Chancellor Wendy Beetlestone. Year 8 students joined from The Academy of St Francis of Assisi to build their own pop-up museums!

#12DaysofVGM - Day 9 ✨ A throwback to the launch of Toxteth: The Harlem of Europe 🙌 An unforgettable evening celebrating music, culture, and community, and the lasting impact of black musicians of L8 in the 50s and 60s.

#12DaysofVGM - Day 10

DID YOU KNOW? This poem is inscribed on the bells of our Victoria clock.

Ring out, wild bells: by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

#12DaysOfVGM - Day 4

The Leggate Theatre also reopened this year, which meant we could host #LivLitFest once again.

We were excited to meet all the amazing authors, including the excellent Mark Kermode!
