The scold’s bridle can be found at the Leeds Discovery Centre astate-of-the-art storage facility, also home to more than a million different pieces including elephant skulls, a medieval log boat, mummy bandages and meteorites. Leeds Museum Discovery Centre is located 1.5 miles south from the city centre, near to the Royal Armouries Museum.
