The secret message tucked away in Leeds apartment block to celebrate hidden river under Leeds city centre

Two hidden messages will be built into a huge new development on the outskirts of Leeds city centre to celebrate the area's rich history.

Yorkshire poet Zaffar Kunial is working on two new pieces which will be built into the walls of a huge new tower block for more than 400 students on Whitelock Street. The apartment building will overlook Sheepscar Beck, the river which runs along the back of the development before disappearing underneath Leeds city centre.

One of the poems will be cast into the brickwork at the building’s entrance. The other will overlook the beck at the back of the development, which bores a two-mile passage underneath Leeds city centre.
