About

This interactive has been developed as part of ‘Electrifying the Country House’,
a University of Leeds project run in collaboration with the National Trust and Leeds City Council, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

The project was led by historian of science Professor Graeme Gooday and art historian Professor Abigail Harrison Moore, and was based on their research. Dr Michael Kay was the project researcher responsible for the delivery of this interactive resource and other project outputs. The interactive was designed and built by Corey Benson from Creative Arthur.
