LS6 Subterranea
Hi Helen
I noticed you drew the LS6 postcode.
As my final major at uni i conducted a project on the underground spaces of Britain and discovered that leeds is rich with hidden structures.
There is a comprehensive WW2 bunker directly beneath Hyde Park which is only accessible from one inconspicuous point. As a component of my final piece, i orchestrated an audio performance in there at 3am one morning, building a custom PA which we could fit through the tiny entrance and then smuggled a selected audience inside and bombarded them with a disorientating soundscape.
Funnily enough, i invited one of the organisers from Situation Leeds and was politely declined on account of the all matt black print on matt black stock invites being 'intimidating'...
I can mail you some pics if its any use, the tunnels which connect Leeds Uni to the canal end of the city are another unspoken gem.
