One Week Book: Research day

Today we were sent out in our groups to fulfill a list of tasks, but ultimately to experience something that would produce an interesting and meaningly narrative for our book. 

We managed to complete quite a few of the tasks such as - trying on wigs, going to the german and kirkgate markets, going to a charity shop ect. - but two of the most notable I think (at least for me) were exploring the dark arches underneath the train station and Jordan's conversation with a homeless man nicknamed 'Spider' - asking about legends and myths to do with Leeds. He said that the dark arches were haunted and that there were wild animals, such as wolves and bears, living on the moors (claiming that during the night out there he had heard noises). He had lots of tattoos of spiders and webs, as well as a LUFC tattoo on his hand.  



Here are some photographs I took in the tunnels underneath the train station. It was mainly a lot of parked cars, but we did find a little shed with lots of rubbish and rubble in it that looked like it could potentially have been lived in at some point.
