Pupils across Leeds have buried time capsules to be sealed for a century as part of Leeds 400 celebrations.
Monday marks 400 years since Leeds received its first Royal Charter from King Charles I – giving the borough the right to self-governance.
Chapel Allerton Primary School is among the schools taking part in collating objects for time capsules to show a glimpse of what life was like in 2026.
“There are things we can learn from the past and things we can hope about for the future,” said school headteacher Nicholas Sykes.
Events have been taking place across the city during 2026 to celebrate the anniversary.
The primary school is one of 19 to have buried time capsules in their playgrounds, with hopes they will be opened once again in 2126.
Developments in technology were considered by the children, as well as objects which may well be obsolete when capsules are dug up.
Joe, 11, who decided to put a pen in the capsule, said: “I think most people will type and will not write and send letters, they will just use emails or messages.”
