Booming Borough: Leeds in the 1800s
The 1800s was a transformative period which shaped the city we know today. From the building boom of the 1820s, which saw the birth of the Kirkgate Market, New Shambles, and the first Corn Exchange. To the rapidly changing industrial landscape of the borough, which brought railways that sliced their way through the city centre, and massive population growth. In this century, Leeds went from being a town of around 30,000 people in 1800 to a city of half a million people in 1900.
Join us on Friday 29th May and explore what life was like in Leeds throughout the 1800s. Accompanied children welcome.
