Having a walk down Memory Lane interesting to see the ‘Peacocks Linoleum’ advert @ 2:20 where my father spent most of his working life until it closed in the 80’s. My sister & I have fond memories of picking dad up at work with our mum on a Saturday in the late 60’s-70’s. Richard Peacock used to give us a Schweppes Bitter Lemon & we used to run around the different Departments after the shop had shut answering telephone extensions that Richard & dad were ringing to amuse us - happy days. Some years later I had a Saturday job as a teenager cutting Vinyl Flooring when they had moved to more modern premises on the opposite side of the Headrow.
Top end; that's the old Corn Exchange - was there from 1827 until it was too small then they built the current building in 1863 (leedsstudentmagazine.co.uk/history-of-the-leeds-corn-exchange/)
I’m from Leeds and there are still lots of lovely places to live in Leeds and so much to do there is and always was not so good areas but that’s the same everywhere.
@@Lovehors4s I agree with you to a certain extent but so many parts that were nice years ago have been allowed to degenerate. It's true other cities have the same problem but that does not make it right. 🏙

Excellent vid - I see Whitelocks is featured
very interesting to see how Briggate developed over the years most enjoyable
Loved your video! Do you have one showing the old Matthias Robinson Department store??
Gosh, really tricky to recognise any of the modern Leeds! How sad to lose all those old buildings, though...
I agree, i really need to look up more, some of the buildings are still here too. They arent all gone.
Nice vid mad to show Leeds so early wants the song
+GamingGoof ---I think its 'canon in d major' by pachenbel---or similar
The building at 0.18 to 0.26 do you know if that was at the top or bottom end of Briggate?

Leeds a once lovely city is now nothing but a number of no go ghettos.
So true David
