In Leeds it's called the Town Hall because it opened in 1858 and Leeds wasn't made a city until 1893. So when it was opened by Queen Victoria herself Leeds was still officially a Town. Great seeing you walk round my home city 😃 and Briggate was originally laid out back in 1207.
Thanks 🙏
M&S started life in 1884, when the immigrant Michael Marks came to the north of England and managed to secure a stall at Kirkgate Market in Leeds. In 1909 M&S opened a store at 76 Briggate which is the store you spotted
Thank you very much for your lovely video from Leeds. The arcade looks fantastic. and good weather for a change. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas.
Greetings from Berlin
🧑🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️
The building hoarding outside the town hall is,I was told,connected with work underneath the structure ,creating a theatre /concert space ...in the 1940s there was a restaurant/canteen underground at the rear of the structure .several blocked off rooms ,partitioned years ago have been returned to their original purpose ..it is strange but despite spending my 77years here ,i can never tire of gazing at it in admiration and wonder,not so much at its dimensions(,brussels has one larger),but at its grace and beauty..it radiates a peace,reassurance,and thankfulness that all beauty does
I am surprised that in the comments nobody has commented Leeds Leeds Leeds. Lovely video again Mr wild.
Great video Stephen , Leeds is a prettier city than manchester ,with grand architecture and ornate arcades ,and the largest indoor market in the uk .
It is never grim in Yorkshire Stephen. The sun always shines on God’s own people.
Yeah but that’s South Yorkshire , West Yorkshire is grim lol .
Adventureme did a video about Leeds Christmas markets. He said it’s spread about different parts of Leeds. Was quite interesting 🎄
@mickd6942 I live in West Yorkshire it's beautiful were I live
@@juliec70 yes I know , I’m from South Yorkshire and it was a gentle dig at West Yorkshire hence the LOL it’s called humour google it .
@@juliec70
I also live in West Yorkshire. Where I live its VERY VERY expensive. & clicky
Good to see you on the right side of the Pennies, in my home town of Leeds, glad you found your way here. It's a good place to live. Hope you had a good day. Thanks for showing off the great city of Leeds it's not all grim and we are lovely folk too. ❤❤❤
The outside ornate characters of the 3 legs and the horse and trumpet have always belied the less than graceful manners of their clientels ....the wheel outside the art gallery has regrettably become a feature at times ...we're pleased you bestowed your honest ,fair minded commentary on our city.....all places have their histories and uplifting sights and nowhere has a monopoly of the best people or the best of everything..I know that much in my 77years
Did you know the Leeds City Varieties Theatre is where the old BBC Sunday Night TV show The Good Old Days was filmed, it’s of the main drag on the right hand side opposite Wendy’s. Set back.
They have the best old-style marble shopping centre built in 1900. Like you say, it is beautiful. Very, very nice to behold! The Three Legs building looked nice as well ❤Thank you for this video too❤
Thank you for sharing this video, much appreciated!
Nice to see you on the proper side of the Pennines for once :)
We've got one very similar in Glasgow, it's called the Argyle Arcade and is full of jewellers, and some beautiful architecture inside and out.
A couple of old traditional pubs off Briggate The Ship/Whitelocks/3 W'spoons, bars back of corn exchange, and Boar Lane, plenty of other bars including the waterfront. Trinity shopping centre, market, main xmas market is millennium Square. 3 theatres etc. Join a walking tour book at Leeds train station I think. I once went up by the town hall clock many years ago.
Loved this one. Thanks for the video. You walked right by my place of work 😂
If you do another visit, there is the Trinity centre, kirkgate market, the corn exchange interior amongst other things. X
I went my uncle malcom. West Ham were at Elland Rd. First time i went north. Ive been here now 23 years. Blackpool my home. Malcolm has passed. All my relatives have passed. Lost 2 friends this year. Paul and mick 2 of my best friend's xxx
Good Evening steve. I really like Leeds. I loved seeing those Beautiful and very Architectual and Historical Archades. you walked along and was just Gobsmacked how Stunning all of those Shops, Cafe's and restaurants looked. Even some of those Incredible Pubs and those Huge Historical buildings. What a Superb city to Admire it's Beauty. I really liked seeing those Christmas Markets as well. Lots of Stands to visit, Plenty of Food and Drink to refresh ones self. It is really Good for the Body, Mind and Soul to visit different places in the World. Just really makes you feel Alive again. Leeds City has got that Good Feeling Vibe and Atmosphere. I really enjoyed this one Steve. Thank you for sharing.
There certainly was a good vibe about the place.
I have never been to Yorkshire before, I have a lot of respect for the area
The brig gate bit 😂
The Town Hall is called that rather than City Hall because it was built around 40 years before Leeds became a city.
Probably the same for other places, except many will already have cathedrals, therefore they are already cities. York probably has a town hall.
Wow Leeds looks amazing 😀 I have a friend who always says Leeds is one of her favourite cities and especially for shopping 🛍️ I think I can see why 😊 great job showing us around Stephen 👍Thanks and take care, until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Blackpool comes to Leeds. Does anyone remember jumbo records. I used to work in London ringing record shops who didnt get reps. Jumbo was one of my customers as was Pink Panther Carlisle Keith. I'd ring him at 5.30 every Monday and we always had a brilliant chat. I stayed in Leeds at the Queens and remember seeing Jimmy Savilles gold coffin in the reception. Nasty man.
glad that you enjoyed your trip around leeds but there is a lot more to see that you missed
Only been to Leeds train station from Barnsley. Was on our way to Blackpool on holiday 🎄
Never been to Leeds not a city centre fan. I have passed through Leeds on the train many times. Thanks for the video it was very informative. 😊
No problem 👍
Wishing a merry Christmas 🎄 Stephen 💝
Wow this is strange, seeing you walking round my home town. It's not the same as it once was, but the history and beautiful architecture cannot be denied, and that's why I'm proud to be from Leeds!
Hopefully you come back for another proper look around places you missed such as the grand old Kirkgate Market (just behind you when you're near the Corn Exchange), Millennium Square (where the ice rink and more of our Christmas market was this year, the full thing used to be held there at one point) with the surrounding Civic Hall, City Museum etc. I could go on all day haha! If you ever need any tips, let me know; I know a lot of history and stories from even before my time (I'm nearly 37). Thanks to you I know similar stuff about Blackpool!
Oh and the Three Legs is one fancy looking building, but not too sure about the pub itself and its clientele if you get my drift (sorry if I offend anyone there!).
Another fantastic video Stephen, even if i may be biased for this one!
Thanks for the info!
Great vlog of a great city, Leeds is a massive city with tons of history and lots to do, as always thanks for sharing another quality vlog.
Happy Christmas, Stephen. Thanks for all the videos you put on.
Greeting from London and thanks for the wander around Leeds. I was only in Leeds once in 1979 for a punk festival. We arrived on a coach from London and went home on a coach... so it was great to eventually see the City of Leeds :)
Thanks for sharing this Stephen I've never been to Leeds I'd love it if you done a video of Preston cos I'm thinking of living there 😀 all the best from me in Birmingham 😊
czcams.com/video/qwJgrWqhNo8/video.htmlsi=HEoOnKzeIfs1RK9R
I'd be up for watching that as I'm from Preston, not far from the city centre.
Another great vid Stephen. Yes Leeds is super imho the best city in England and lve been to most.
Hi Stephen thanks for another great video we have an arcade similar to that in Glasgow city centre mostly filled with posh jewellers, the Argyle Arcade take care and have a lovely evening 😊
Thanks for another great video, leeds looks the kind of place i would love to go on a shopping trip. The arcade you went in was beautiful.☃️⛄️🌲
We are going up later this week for 3 days, my Mrs loves the shopping there.
Lovely and lively place. Wow!
my childhood place in yourkshire is rotherham loved to see the old town centre again steve
Good to see you in my neck of the woods. Great vid. 👍
Very interesting Stephen, I heard recently that Leeds is the largest European City not to have a metro or tram system.
Thanks for all your videos during the last year Stephen, Merry Christmas and Best wishes for 2024.🎉
Interesting. I thought it was missing something.
Let’s face it nothing outside London gets anything !
For the first time, this year, the Christmas Market has been spread out across the city.
Hi Stephen thank u for the videos love them . Look lovely .
I was in Leeds last week very foggy and raining,they spread the market all over this year better when its all together,some good pubs there,you should visit the armory and docs in summer
Thanks for another informative video Stephen, you certainly do like to travel. Read in the Gazette that yet another abandoned hotel was raided on Withnell road, with 13 rooms full,. Why Blackpool,it seems to attract them. Well Blackpool seems to have put Leeds to shame as far as there Christmas markets go.
Love ❤️ this video! I love Leeds!!! I'm a life long Leeds United Supporter!
Well Stephen was in leeds on Wednesday always miss you 😊
Welcome to Leeds. We would of stopped and said hello if seen you
MERRY CHRISTMAS STEPHEN all the way from London. Northerner living in the south.
Hi everyone

Thanks very much Stephen for showing us round another city it is a nice place although it's been many years since i was there i hope you have a Merry Christmas
Hi George,hope all's well, my sister and I had a fantastic day Wednesday at Chatsworth house in Derbyshire,very windy and drizzling but didn't spoil it, the house tour with all its decorations was absolutely amazing, the theme was Advent, I've never seen so many beautiful decorated Christmas trees, every colour of decor on them you could imagine, then tour of the gardens in the evening when it went dark, gosh so amazing,all the trees lit up changing colours and music playing was absolutely magical,the rock gardens with waterfalls,just beautiful,then on the house front was Advent doors projected on it,and music and movement,wow it was fab. Got loads of photos and videos, Google it and you'll see, well worth a visit,
Well it's nearly here the big day,just got Tesco shop delivery tomorrow then all sorted, hope you all have a fantastic time,take care stay well, bye for now 🎄🧑🎄⛄🥳

I live in Wakefield west Yorkshire love watching your videos
It’s nice in Leeds .. often get on train from Sheffield for a day out .. we’ve a Wendy’s too lol
Blackpool needs a Wendy's!
The, Christmas market in Leeds looks really small🎄🎄 in Leeds I love the big wheel 🎡🎡
I've used to to Leeds it's nice in Leeds
Ahh wow, a welcome surprise! My home town 😊 hope you enjoyed your visit!
Leeds has a pretty good vibe.
Yes spread over the city x
Welcome to our City Leeds 😊
we live in Leeds, if we'd have known, we'd have nipped into town to say hello 😊
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always im not that far from Leeds but ive never been there omg it looks really nice im going to have to go wow love all the shops theres not many where I live have a great evening xx
It looks like St Georges Hall in Liverpool
Look at this wow
Look at that
Wow amazing 😊😂
You make us chuckle
Thankyou so much
Stephen you are famous!
You missed most of the Christmas market its behind the town hall Merry Christmas
Why not come to one of the Meet Up Piano Meetings - in Leeds Clothworkers, Sheffield and Manchester. You'd love it a great opportunity to meet new people and hear some piano performances.
I live in Sheffield and visit the other Cities frequently. Sheffield tries. It's not the best City in Yorkshire, but it tries its best. It still has nice things to offer to visitors. Just not a Seafront. I'm thankful for Northern Rail - I travel everywhere. But still feel Sheffield and Hull (my hometown) have my heart.
Oh, Stephen, you should’ve done your research. You missed out Leeds Market, the City Square and Whitelocks 🍻. A second visit required.
Leeds = my city of birth. Blackpool = my adopted city, by marriage.
Ah’ll sithi.
Hi have a lovely Christmas and new year love your videos ❤
Merry Christmas Stephen
Fantastic Video Steve I Enjoyed it 😊
Just leaving Leeds on the train to Nottingham now
Happy Christmas and New Year to you Stephen. xx
Hi Stephen. Another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work and I'm fine leeds myself
Hope you have a great Christmas Stephen and stay safe x
Was in Leeds for the first time in July. Not a bad city at all. I was impressed with it. Never stayed over so only seen it at daytime. I will return at some point to sample the night life. Good video again Stephen. Take care and have a great Christmas. Ian,Glasgow 👍
Hope u enjoyed it for the first time and don't get lots when was u huddersfield
Hi Stephen,great vlog, lovely day for a look round Leeds, I've Never been,very busy place and some lovely looking buildings,loved the arcade,thanks take care, have a good Christmas 🎄 x
Lovely video Stephen,,,,❤,,,,,,🇮🇲
Thank you for a tour round my old haunts Stephen. Back in the days there were alleyways I loved to saunter down browsing. Not quite sure but I think the Corn Exchange is an indoor shopping market and has a café where you can get a bread roll and a decent bowl of soup. I've settled in Manchester now but have really fond memories of Leeds. 😊😊😊
I did go inside to have a look. It's quite fancy.
Never used to be Stephen, things change.
Thanks for video Leeds streets look very clean 👍
Christmas markets around the City centre 😊
I go to leeds to visit my mate. Usually end up in turtle bay for cocktails, then the duck and drake pub 😂
They seem to have changed to the old colours of the buses x
Great video of the best city in the UK in my opinion Stephen.
H I Stephen it's a fabulous place to visit Leeds love Manchester as well we've got a Wendy's here in Hull now, there is 12 wetherspoons in Leeds, loved the video Stephen ❤
fantastic vlog steve
Leeds! listen to it! We could smell it! It's not like Shaftesbury.
Trinty centre is really nice
Looks an interesting place, Stephen👍. Some of the streets reminded me of Glasgow city centre 😊
Very Interesting upload, thanks. 👍 I lived in Leeds for 10 years in the late 80's - mid 90's for work purposes. I've not had cause to go back and hardly recognise it apart from the street layouts. It does have some amazing architecture but most large city centres look the same now now with all the chain shops. Nice to see some of the old pubs have survived though.
Hi Stephen, yes lees is ok for it’s building’s but not my sort of town. Take a trip to Barnsley and let me know if you do. Great videos again.
Leeds looks like a great City, the County arcade was amazing. I've never been to Leeds. Thanks for the video Stephen.
Being from leeds its always busy
Ahhh I'd of shown you around had I known mate 👍🏻
On the Lion and the walls of the town hall as well as the wall below the city map you can see shrapnel dinks from April 1941 When the Luftwaffe paid a visit
Happy ding dong Christmas Mr Wild side
I played a great game of Spot the person not wearing a ribbed for her pleasure black bin bag coat.
First thing in my mind was The Who live at Leeds album. Yeah, Magic Bus
Fun fact from a Leeds local. The old sign in the alley by the horse and trumpet pub is “Circle and Boxes” - it’s an old entrance to a theatre now accessed from the other side. The Christmas market is spread all over the city and it’s had a lot of criticism from people. And having been to Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, Leeds sucks lol 😂 and I’m not a fan of Liverpool. York is a much nicer city centre.
All the other comments seem to disagree with you, maybe you’re the problem, nobody’s keeping you here
Merry Christmas Steven hope you recieved your card and money
Welcome to Leeds Stephen hope you enjoyed your visit Yorkshire is a beautiful place especially west Yorkshire lol
Leeds is local to me, its the 4th biggest city in England after London, Birmingham and Manchester. Briggate is the main shopping street, Theres plenty of shopping centres but the biggest one in the city centre is called the Trinity. Next time you visit you need to get yourself in Kirkgate Market Hall, its a proper old fashioned market you don't find anywhere else these days and a very impressive building!
If you don't include "Greater" Manachester which is technically a county its 3rd biggest
That's because Bradford is lumped in with Leeds in the city boundaries despite being a different city all together and quite seperate from Leeds (and adding around 500,000 to Leeds population).. Realistically Manchester and Liverpool (including its neighbouring boroughs such as Sefton and Wirral) are bigger cities with bigger continous urban populations. Drone videos clearly show this as does Google satellite view.
@@cmg1819 lt's only connected with Bradford when considering the built up area. The Manchester conurbation is bigger than Leeds, but Liverpool area is smaller than the Leeds conurbation.
@billythedog-309 The Liverpool City Region (formerly known as "Merseyside") has a population of over 1.5 million which places it above Leeds conurbation by some margin. Its reflected in the size of the city centres with Liverpool's clearly covering a bigger area.
@@cmg1819 There are several measures of what constitutes a city, a metropolitan area and a conurbation and on the ones l've seen the Leeds/Bradford conurbation was 1,777,9341 in 2011 making it the 4th most populous in the UK after London, Birmingham and Manchester.
Do you see the corn exchange i used to work on nights there cleaning it lol
Leeds looks nice quite a nice city
