I was waiting somewhere yesterday and I noticed this #Bronze #Sculpture next to me, which looked sort of familiar. So, I looked around for a notice and by the side it said this was by the #Sculptor #BarbaraHepworth and was made in #1964. Now, Hepworth lived in #StIves in #Cornwall but she was born and educated in #Wakefield, #WestYorkshire, which happens to be where I grew up for much of my childhood. Quite a coincidence. It’s a small world.

Just one more week and 150 signups needed to get a new local paper in Leeds and West Yorks! We are crying out for ad-free, genuinely local investigative journalism.

Their sister stories have broken nationally important stories in the last few months. What stories do we have that deserve daylight?

Can you boost? Do you know someone who would be interested? Please share!
