Leeds
architectural offerings include the Victorian
Town Hall dating to 1858 and the domed Corn
Exchange. Also worth note are the Civic Hall
with its colonades and the Mill Hill Chapel,
the oldest building in the City Square. Just
three miles from city centre on the banks
of the River Aire are the ruins of Kirkstall
Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 1152 by Cistercian
monks who began many of the cottage industries
that were further developed in Leeds during
the Middle Ages. The Temple Newsam House
is just south-east of the city and is a museum
offering 17th and 18th century collections
of furnishings and sculpture and landscaped
gardens. Bargain hunters will want to visit
the Leeds City Market dating back to 1904.
Northwest of the city is the market town
of Otley where Thomas Chippendale was born
and three miles west is the town of Pudsey,
famous for its cricket heroes Herbert Sutcliffe
and Len Hutton. Leeds is linked by the Leeds
and Liverpool canals east and west and by
railway to the south.
