Biscuit messages

04 Dec 2025

As well as the biscuit messages, other festive objects which have been recently donated to Leeds Museums and Galleries include a late 1960s Cutie doll, gifted to a child whose family was homeless in 1969 as part of the Leeds and District Workpeople’s Hospital Fund’s annual Christmas appeal. Held here by curator Kitty Ross, it still carries the note “To Denise Xmas 1969, from mummy and dad.”
