the sites of the medieval manor house and corn mill and discover the old town boundaries.

Georgian chapels and churches.

Exchange, Boar Lane, Park Row, the Town Hall, Municipal Buildings, the Civic Theatre, the cities
finest Victorian Arcades and the City Market.
Holbeck Urban Village:
Cradle of the Industrial
Revolution
This walk shows you the wonderful industrial heritage of Holbeck, the famous Egyptian Temple Mill,
the Italianate Tower Works, and Matthew Murray’s Round Foundry – and its recent imaginative
transformation into an ‘urban village’.
Sites of the Silver
Screen
A walk to mark the forgotten cinemas of Leeds. City cinemas tended to be grand, even opulent, but
in many instances a mere shadow is all that remains. Join us on a collaborative walk, to explore
what is left of the old Picture Palaces and to tease out knowledge and memory from participants,
whilst considering the shape of cinema as we knew it.
Leeds Waterfront
The regeneration of the city centre riverside and the Calls is one of the most astonishing
achievements of the last two decades. This walk introduces you to the regenerated warehouses
and docks, the splendid new bridges, the new flats, offices, restaurants and visitor attractions.
Five Decades - Five
Arcades
This walk explores the history and development of the Merrion Centre, The Light, St John’s Centre,
Trinity Leeds and the Victorian Quarter - five arcade-like shopping centres which have helped
create ‘The Knightsbridge of the North’. This brand new walk celebrates 5 decades of change in
Leeds since Leeds Civic Trust was founded in 1965.
