A blue plaque celebrating Leeds-born bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE has been unveiled.
The plaque is the 207th to be installed by the Leeds Civic Trust and will recognise her international literary success.
Bradford’s debut novel, A Woman of Substance, has sold more than 32m copies since it was published in 1979, and is ranked in the top 10 bestselling works of fiction of all time.
“She started off in Leeds and ultimately moved to New York, but she is very much an Armley girl, so that is why we are celebrating her,” said Martin Hamilton, director of Leeds Civic Trust.
