Kittens driving cranes, beautiful vintage Christmas cards and an image of a Leeds branch of the Home Guard are among the remarkable array of objects which have been rediscovered at Leeds Industrial Museum.

Experts have been hard at work carrying out a detailed inventory of the museum's storage area this week, which contains hundreds of objects collected, donated and stored over several generations.
