One of the less well known aspects of the Burley Champions project has been to create a 'channel' on the international local history website, Historypin.
In partnership with Leodis, which is Leeds City Council's photographic archive, our volunteers have uploaded an extensive selection of old photographs of old Burley. The Historypin site allows users to 'pin' old photograph to a detailed 'Google' map of the area together with a short description.
The site is open to the general public and enables the project to share information with a global community of people interested in sharing their local 'histories'.
