This impressive selection of over 200 old photographs and
illustrations whisks the reader away on an exciting and informative
tour of central Leeds as it used to be. Remember the last surviving
bow-windowed shop on Briggate, or the Old Hall Hotel which preceded
the Merrion Centre. Explore the changing face of City Square and
other central landmarks. See what it was like to live in the city
and meet some of the people who lived and worked here. Make a visit
to the Bull and Mouth Inn, reputedly the busiest coaching inn of
its day in the city, before toasting the numerous royal visits and
other significant events that have graced central Leeds over the
years. Spanning well over 100 years, these images - drawn primarily
from Leeds Central Library's extensive photo archive and now made
available on the 'Leodis' website (www.leodis.net) - provide a
revealing insight into the past as they bring the city to life.
