12 May 18:00-19:30

20 June: 11:30-13:00

Join us for a walk around our three great squares to trace the history and development of Leeds from the Georgian period through to the twenty-first century.

We meet our walk leader, Professor Joyce Hill, in the entrance to the train station next to the Queen’s Hotel on City Square. From there we will explore our three very distinctive city-centre squares: Park Square, City Square, and Millennium Square, where the walk will end. Visiting them in this order is a way of tracing the development of Leeds from the Georgian period through to the twenty-first century. In each, we will be asking why it was developed, and what it reveals about the continuing social and economic development of the city. Each of the three squares will also introduce us to several of the most notable figures of the city’s history and some of the most distinctive characteristics of the architecture of Leeds over 250 years

There are two walks on two different days. Please ensure you only book tickets for the walk you would like to attend. There are two different booking links for the two different dates. Tickets are non-transferable between the two walks for capacity reasons. Registration opens 7 February.
