Organised by Peter Hirschmann, Merial Evans, Colin Cunningham and our West Yorkshire group.

Leeds and Halifax are two key towns of the West Riding, each proudly different. Both were, however, largely founded on the woollen trade, a surprisingly varied industry which gave each town a different character.

Each town boasts unique monuments of Victorian industrialism, and our whole weekend is designed to let you explore a cross section of the Yorkshire industrial city, from its housing to its mills, its service buildings and leisure palaces, from its places of worship to its iconic town halls.

We shall be based at the Queen's Hotel in the very centre of Leeds (it adjoins the railway station). Our main focus will be the City of Leeds which, through its Victorian expansion, became the effective centrepiece of the whole West Riding.
