Leeds Central Library is a listed building, designed as municipal buildings by George Corson to complement the Town Hall, and completed in 1884.
The foundation stone was laid in 1878, and it was completed in April 1884.
Appleyard led the team of stone carvers who worked on the interior staircases, pillars and arches (except for the alabaster entrance-hall arch, carved by Farmer & Brindley).
His name and Corson's were engraved on a roundel "high on the wall" of the entrance hall or exterior.
The other stone carvers of the interior staircases and arches have not been identified, and the extent of Appleyard's contribution to the artwork is unknown.
