Mosaic memorial portrait of Leeds character Terry “Pudsey Macca” McCann, displayed in the yard of the Angel Inn in Leeds city centre

Handmade mosaic memorial portrait of Terry McCann, the popular Leeds figure widely known by the nickname “Pudsey Macca”, displayed on a red brick wall in the yard of the Angel Inn in Leeds city centre. The rectangular artwork presents a detailed monochrome image of McCann with swept hair and a beard, constructed from numerous irregular fragments of black, white and grey ceramic material. Small pale-yellow sections form an abstract background around the head, while the letters VYT appear prominently in yellow, white and blue at the lower right of the portrait. The fragmented surface, visible joins and changing shades give the face a textured, expressive appearance. Close attention has been given to the eyes, hair and facial features, creating a recognisable and personal commemorative image rather than a formal public monument. Terry McCann was remembered locally as a well-known Leeds character, regular pubgoer and familiar personality within the city’s social, music and nightlife communities. Tributes following his death referred to him affectionately as Pudsey Macca and described him as a Leeds legend and a true gentleman. The placement of the mosaic at the Angel Inn reflects his connection with the traditional city-centre pub and the friendships formed there. The Angel Inn stands within Angel Inn Yard, one of the historic passages leading from Briggate in central Leeds. The secluded courtyard setting provides an intimate location for this community memorial, allowing friends, regular customers and visitors to encounter the portrait as part of the everyday life of the pub. The image documents contemporary memorial art, local identity and grassroots cultural heritage. It also illustrates how pubs and social spaces can become informal places of remembrance, using individually commissioned artwork to celebrate a much-loved local personality and preserve their presence within the community.
