Map Team visit Designer

The Geological Map Team – YPS members Rod & Margaret Leonard, Vivien Irish, and Gardens Manager Alison Pringle, recently visited the home and studio of designer Janette Ireland, to view the progress of our mosaic. This will represent the Yorkshire section of William Smith’s iconic 1815 map, and will be installed in Museum Gardens later this year, to celebrate the bicentenary. We were thrilled with the progress – Janette has now completed two of the corners – representing Ammonites and Fossil Ferns, and a major section of the central map, showing the east coast and the eastern side of the county.
