Bring the Happy is the brain child of a group of Leeds-based artists called Invisible Flock.

In autumn 2010, a stall at Leeds Kirkgate Market, three shops, a travelling phone box and 10 city schools became the collection points for the project.

Artists Ben Eaton, Victoria Pratt and Richard Warburton said they had spoken to hundreds of people about their personal memories including babies, illicit sex, health scares and all clears, Greggs pasties, first loves, last loves, new hats and Jimmy Savile.

The cascade of memories revealed popular places for people’s happy times.

Mr Eaton said: “The two happiest places that won by a long shot were the hospitals, Leeds General Infirmary and Jimmy’s, which were because of the births.

“The market got a lot and places that don't exist anymore, so Quarry Hill flats got a lot and areas like Chapeltown got a lot because of a sense of community and a sense of happiness.”
