It brings together nativity scenes and Christmas concerts at schools across Leeds down the decades. They feature pupils dressed as Joseph and Mary, the Angel Gabriel, innkeepers, wise men and animals all in costumes probably made by long-suffering parents. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
