An image showing a bizarre archway made of bread built to greet a visiting dignitary has been unearthed from an archive of over 60,000 images of Leeds.
Taken in 1894, the rediscovered photo shows an enormous bread arch built from about 1,500 loaves on Commercial Street, Leeds City Council said.
The unusual tribute was built to mark a visit to the city by the Duke of York, later George V, and his wife.
The stale loaves were later distributed to the city s poor, the council said.
