Leeds began as a Saxon village. By the time of the Domesday Book, it had a population of around 200. By the standards of the time, Leeds was quite a large village. Then in 1207 the Lord of the Manor, Maurice De Gant, founded a new town at Leeds. Then craftsmen built houses and paid rent to the Lord for the land. The new street was called Brigg Gata. (Which is now the well know Briggate, still a popular destination for shoppers and leisure seekers today).
Leeds has expanded rapidly over the past two centuries, highlights include the opening of Marks and Spencer’s first penny arcade in 1884, alongside a boom in Victorian shopping arcades such as Thorntons (1878), Queens (1889), and the Grand and Victoria Arcades (both 1898). More recently, major developments have included the creation of Millennium Square in 2000 and the opening of the new Leeds City Museum in 2008.
Today Leeds has something for everyone. It is widely recognised as one of the top shopping cities outside of London.
