JRR Tolkien was based nearby in Leeds in the early 20thC and although this show is well-placed to this aspect of Tolkien&#8217;s past there is no suggestion at all that Yorkshire ever played a part in inspiring Middle-earth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the video below, John offers a behind-the-scenes look at the installation and some thoughts on how this installation came about.
