Leeds City Walking Tours

'Village Square'

This tiny village began to expand as wealthy merchants of the pre-industrial era made their rural retreats in the healthy air north of the busy town of Leeds. They were followed by entrepreneurs, bankers and other prosperous families in the nineteenth century. As the population of Leeds grew and the trams made the village more accessible, so housing developments filled in fields and former gardens.Evidence of these changes is very clear when you walk the streets. You'll see some of the most interesting and quirky features of this very varied place that became engulfed in the city of Leeds. We'll have chances along the way to consider some potential improvements - the Neighbourhood Plan is in preparation and locals can have some influence over future directions. If you grew up in this area or have lived here for a long time you’ll find out more about some familiar views and about elements of your surroundings that you've passed by without noticing. If you’re a relative newcomer it’ll help you to understand more about your new setting. If you're a family group, please get in touch to talk about a price. Meet in the ‘village square’ near the willow tree. Exact location: https://what3words.com/draw.villa.gross - on the map below we'd have been trespassing in the the grounds of Allerton House.

Households with slightly more income could move up in the world topographically and socially.
