caption_attribution_description: English: The demolition of the East Leeds Family Learning Centre (formerly Foxwood School) in Seacroft, Leeds. Taken during the early stages of demolition, around midday on Saturday the 12th of December 2009. Note the large glazed stairwells which were used extensively by Yorkshire Television for filming scenes in the Beiderbecke Trilogy.
context_page_description: East Leeds Family Learning Centre was a large Adult Education Centre in Seacroft, Leeds, England. The buildings were originally used as a secondary school, Foxwood School. The school is notable for its use for filming The Beiderbecke Trilogy between 1984 and 1988. Demolition of the buildings began in December 2009 and was completed early in 2010.
context_section_description: The buildings were in a somewhat derelict state, built six storeys high at their tallest and set around a central courtyard.  Much of the building surfaces were glazed, providing natural light throughout the corridors, which largely ran along the edge of buildings, a feature Yorkshire Television exploited for filming.
  Demolition began on the northern sections of the building in December 2009, following a decision by Leeds City Council that the building was unfit for purpose and uneconomic to repair.
  No plans have as yet being put forward for the redevelopment of the site.  Many prefabricated 'Cedarwood' houses in the area are abandoned and likely to be demolished in the near future raising the possibility that the site may be redeveloped as part of a wider scheme.
