Leeds, sited in the heart of West Yorkshire, is the UK's third
largest city and is home to a community rich in history, ambition
and achievement. As the financial, cultural and commercial heart of
West Yorkshire, Leeds is a city essential to the global economic
system. Although only a small borough for much of its existence,
Leeds in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries became a key
centre for the production and trading of wool. As the Industrial
Revolution progressed, Leeds developed into a major industrial hub,
extending its reach into engineering, printing, commerce, health
and education. Iron foundries were among other industries of
extreme importance. The city then expanded, absorbing many of the
surrounding villages and townships to become the urban city we see
today. Combining cultural riches with strong transport and
communication links, it continues to attract students,
entrepreneurs and professionals, not only to visit, but often to
relocate to this vibrant part of West Yorkshire. The authors have
charted the area's great past, and the enormous changes that have
taken place, through a selection of fascinating and inspiring old
postcards.
