About Leeds
Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.
Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.
