I arrived at Leeds station from Manchester 30 October 2021.
Below- Panorama of the City Square followed by statues
Edward Prince of Wales, The Black Prince (1330-1376),
on horseback unveiled 16 September 1903
by artist Thomas Brook.
Statue of James Watt, the Scotsman whose work on steam power
led to the industrial revolution important to the City and the Middleton Railway
Statue of Joseph Priestley who worked in Leeds 1767-1773 at Mill Hill Chapel
in City Square. Priestly is credited with discovery of oxygen.

Not far away, Nelson Mandela is honoured with
a beautiful garden near the Civic Hall
I noted various buildings of interest on my walkabout Leeds
Catholic Cathedral, Leeds
City Museum, Leeds
Leeds Town Hall
Leeds Minster
There's a picturesque waterfront along the River Aire
A must see building is the Corn Exchange--it's what's inside that counts.
Of course, there's lots of shopping in any city.
I enjoyed a Sunday pie and mash in the city...
but at other times I ate in the Kirkgate Market and browsed the various stands and shops.
