HOLE 1 - PAR 4

Leeds Industrial Museum

The Leeds Industrial Museum is housed in a Grade II* listed building. Now a museum of industrial heritage, it preserves the city's history through extensive collections of textile machinery, railway equipment and heavy engineering. You can find the site in Armley, near Leeds, in West Yorkshire, Northern England. It is a local authority museum that gives visitors a look at the massive scale of the machinery used in the area. I've noticed it's a great spot for anyone who likes seeing how things were actually made, and the building itself is just as interesting as the exhibits inside.

To ensure the congregation can follow the service, the Friday prayer sermon is delivered in English alongside the Arabic. This practice allows the mosque to support its regular congregation of 3,000 people through a combination of traditional Arabic and accessible English language guidance.
