Revitalising a market town: Leeds in the 1700s
Leeds had been a popular market town since the early 1200s, however, increasing competition from its neighbours meant that it needed a transformation to keep up.
Throughout the 1700s, Leeds experienced many ‘firsts,’ such as the towns first Cloth Halls, theatre, workhouse, and general infirmary all opening in this period. These changes helped bring new life to Leeds and enabled the town to grow into the prosperous commercial and industrial hub of later centuries.
Join us on Tuesday 7th April to discover more about Leeds in the 1700s!
