Leeds is a city in West Yorkshire, England. It is the largest settlement in Yorkshire and the administrative centre of the City of Leeds Metropolitan Borough, which is the second most populous district in the United Kingdom. It is built around the River Aire and is in the eastern foothills of the Pennines. The city was a small manorial borough in the 13th century and a market town in the 16th century. It expanded by becoming a major production centre, including of carbonated water where it was invented in the 1760s, and trading centre (mainly with wool) for the 17th and 18th centuries.
Leeds developed as a mill town during the Industrial Revolution alongside other surrounding villages and towns in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was also known for its flax industry, iron foundries, engineering and printing, as well as shopping, with several surviving Victorian era arcades, such as Kirkgate Market. City status was awarded in 1893, and a populous urban centre formed in the following century which absorbed surrounding villages and overtook the population of nearby York.

What’s your favourite scenic route?
Love the architecture.
Yeah there’s some beautiful old buildings around the city
I've not been in the Centre of Leeds for 30 years despite living in the north of the city. I remember so many landmarks, thanks for posting.
You’re welcome, pleased you enjoyed it.
It was my first visit to Leeds & it won’t be my last.
I was pleasantly surprised, nicer than I was previously led to believe
@@scenicrouteytLeeds is definitely very underrated. One shouldn't listen to anyone else, you really have to visit and experience the city for yourself.
Yeah I enjoyed what I saw
@@scenicrouteyt Cool 👍
Im telling you Leeds is on the come up
Yeah I have to agree, it feels like it
I’ve only been to Leeds once. It reminds me of Newcastle and Manchester.
Yeah all big cities kinda look alike nowadays.
There is some nice architecture around
Not Newcastle, its coastal. Leeds is more of a halfway house between Manchester and Sheffield.
Never been to Newcastle, it’s on my list for this year at some point.
Haven’t visited the North East much in general
@@itzandzwouldn't call the centre of Newcastle coastal it's about 10 miles away , areas like South shields yes
Nice
Yeah it’s a nice city. One of the better northern ones
Leeds looks nicer than I thought! 🤣
Looks like it’s good for shopping
Haha, I thought the same thing!
The whole area around the open fruit market and the bus station is plagued by beggars and layabouts drinking cans of beer, also begging for money. it just doesn't feel safe. I won't be shopping there again.
Was my first trip to the city centre.
It’s definitely better than some other city’s in the country, but they are all plagued with their own issues
The same can be said for any city, big or small, anywhere in the world. Don't be so naive!
