The subject of each mural was chosen by a panel of volunteers, who worked with Leeds Museums and Galleries as part of the On the Pitch, Off the Pitch project, which was made possible thanks to support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and which delved into the museum’s collection to discover links to local sporting stories.

Among the inspiring figures they selected are Kadeena Cox, who has brought home a remarkable string of Paralympic gold medals in sprinting and cycling. She has been commemorated with a beautiful artwork adorning The Reginald Centre in Chapeltown.

Produced by artist Hyro Graff in consultation with Kadeena, her family and members of the Chapeltown community, the mural’s colours and imagery connect to various parts of Kadeena’s life and heritage.

Doris Storey, who smashed the record for the 220yds breaststroke in 1938, has been honoured with an eye-catching mural that’s now making a splash as part of a new housing development in Seacroft, where Doris was born, and which also includes a five-storey building named after her.

Created by artist Alexandra Elstone, the mural celebrates key moments and locations of the trailblazing swimmer’s life.

Elsewhere a vibrant mural depicting the city’s rich dance heritage adorns the Northern School of Contemporary Dance courtesy of artist Herfa Thompson and a dynamic piece celebrating the city’s rising skateboarding stars has been unveiled at Leeds Dock, created by Melody Murals.

And a tribute to the Leeds Caribbean Cricket Club, which became the first club of its kind in the UK when it was established in 1948, is a new feature at Kirkgate Market thanks to artist Jioni Warner.
