The richly diverse architectural heritage of Leeds, from the mighty Town Hall to its daring 1960s university campus, is fully explored in this essential guide. A series of walks reveal each period of development, from medieval wool town to vibrant twenty-first century city, covering buildings as diverse as the Jacobean church of St John, the relics of nineteenth century industry and opulent Victorian shopping arcades. Excursions into the suburbs and beyond take the reader to Kirkstall Abbey, Temple Newsam and the Norman church at Adel.
Colour photographs, maps and plans make this an invaluable companion.
