Leeds: A Historical Dictionary of People, Places and Events by David Thornton
There are many fine books on the history of Leeds but Leeds: A Historical Dictionary of People, Places and Events is unique. It brings together in an easily accessible format not only the stories of well-known Leeds residents, industries and institutions but also the events that have shaped the city's growth and the significant discoveries that have been made there.

Local history has been David's passion for forty years, and he has written a number of books and lectured widely on the subject.
