Map 0 – 365LeedsStories

365 Leeds Stories originated as a storytelling project on the social media outlet Twitter. Over the course of a year, Matthew Bellwood set himself the challenge of writing a tiny story about the city everyday.

This account and cache of stories still exists @365LeedsStories. The material found there has been used as a starting point for several strands of the 365 Leeds Stories project.

These 365 tiny stories of Leeds are scattered randomly around this site. Here’s one for you right now…
