Biography

Professor Anthony C T (Tony) North came to Leeds in 1972 as Professor of Biophysics in the University of Leeds. With an interest in the intellectual and industrial developments in Leeds, he became a member of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society. From its foundation in 1819, the Society's members established a Museum, which a century later formed the basis of the present Leeds City Museum. LPLS meetings fostered interactions between its members which were undoubtedly instrumental in the development of ideas such as those of Le Prince. Professor North served as President of the LPLS from 2009 to 2013.
