A brochure for the Lady Lane Central Mission bazaar in November 1923. The bazaar's theme was 'Empire'.

Themed bazaars - usually indoor markets, with stalls dressed up in accordance with a theme - were very popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were a traditional and important means of raising money for churches and missions. In the 1920s, the Leeds District under the direction of Superintendent Rev. James L. Powell held annual themed bazaars.
