SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

http://newsfeed.leedsvirtualnewsroom.co ... ll.htmlThe secrets, mystery and intrigue of a 12th century abbey in Leeds are set to be revealed as part of a special ‘Twitter tour’ taking place later this week. In what promises to be a unique experience, fans of the abbey will be able to join a virtual tour on Twitter around Kirkstall Abbey’s Cistercian ruins led by Leeds Museums and Galleries’ Curator of Archaeology, Kat Baxter on Friday 18 July from 1pm. Expect to be both surprised and shocked as stories both extraordinary and sometimes gruesome are provided by Kat, who will also detail its links with another popular attraction Abbey House Museum, its former gatehouse, and the lives of monks who once lived within the walls of the abbey. After the virtual tour is over Kat will be online afterwards to take part in a special question and answer session with the Twitter community. For more details make sure you follow the #Katintheabbey hashtag from 1pm on Friday 18 July and follow the following accounts on Twitter; @leedsmuseums and curator Kat Baxter @curatorbaxter.

That should be a good one croggy and worth following. (Cautionary note to members - perhaps we should nominate just one person to ask about the famous tunnel rather than risk all 16 519 users jumping in ).    

Thanks for that Croggy -- I'll have to see whether I can surreptitiously follow it on my phone at work.As for the tunnels -- we all know that jonleeeds found it but is playing it down and keeping the treasure for himself .
