Image shows a plaque in Armley Park with relief carving depicting a winged angel. It dates from the late nineteenth century and is manufactured from glazed terracotta, possibly from the Burmantofts potteries. It is to be found about 40 metres west of the fountain and is one of a pair. Surrounding the figure is a relief border of fruits and birds. The plaque is set in an artifical stone mound now covered in a dense growth of creepers. The ornament is Grade II listed.

| Belgrave Street numbers 11 to 13 (City Centre) (2 comments) |
 | Undated.
Image shows two properties numbered 11 to 13 Belgrave Street. Number 11 (left),is listed in a Kelly's Directory of Leeds for 1921 as being occupied by Wolfe Jacobson, tailor. This property was demolished much earlier than number 13 next door. Number 13 was occupied by the caretaker of The Great Synogogue which stood at number 15, just seen at the right edge. The Great Synagogue was the first purpose-built synagogue in Yorkshire when it opened in 1860 and remained here until 1983 when it was demolished, along with number 13. The site of The Great Synagogue was given Blue Plaque status in 1991. On the left of number 11 a ginnel leads to the rear of the property.

| Belgrave Street, The Great Synagogue, numbers 13 to 15 Belgrave Street (City Centre) (1 comment) |
| 1970s.
View of numbers 13 to 15 Belgrave Street. On the left number 13 is a two storey property which was once occupied by the caretaker of The Great Synagogue, next door, to the right, at number 15 Belgrave Street. The Great Synagogue was purpose-built (the first purpose-built synagogue in Yorkshire) and replaced the former synagogue located at a converted house in Back Rockingham Street. The architects were Perkin and Backhouse and the synagogue opened here in August 1861. Eventually, over the years, as the Jewish population of Leeds moved away from the centre, (the Leylands area, between North Street and Regent Street), membership numbers at the Great Synagogue declined. The old building required high levels of maintenance and so it closed down in 1983 and was subsequently demolished. A Blue Plaque, sponsored by The United Hebrew Association, was unveiled by Rabbi Dr Solomon Brown on 3rd February 1991 to commemorate The Great Synagogue. It is mounted on the exterior wall of an office block which now occupies the site.

| Cardigan Arms, heritage inn plaque (Burley) (1 comment) |
| 24th January 2010.
View of a plaque on the wall of the Cardigan Arms public house on Kirkstall Road, positioned to the right of the main entrance, which states that 'The Cardigan Arms, by virtue of its historic interest, merits the title A Joshua Tetley Heritage Inn.' Built in 1896 (replacing an earlier pub of the same name on the site) it was designed by Thomas Winn and remains in much the same state today, with its multi-roomed layout and original glass, tiling and wood screens. It also features in CAMRA's National Inventory of historic pub interiors and is a Grade II listed building.
