The 500 year-old mansion’s stunning Oak Corridor is now home to the new pottery display, created by a group of people from the Osmondthorpe Hub in east Leeds.

The hub works with adults with a physical impairment or head injury and the group had recently been on tours of Temple Newsam House and the Leeds Discovery Centre to learn more about their famous collections of Burmantofts and Leeds pottery and creamware.

The Lord Mayor of Leeds Councillor Jane Dowson visited Temple Newsam to officially opened the exhibition earlier this week

Their work will be exhibited until September 25 before moving to the showcased on the Community Corridor at the Discovery Centre.
