Moss Travel Media on Blogger: #Leeds is a city with a rich #retail #heritage, Leeds #Market has been around since 1822, Marks & Spencer were established in Leeds in 1884, and supermarket chain Asda began operation in the city in 1949. Today Leeds has been named the best #shopping destination in the U.K. by Rough Guide and has over 1,000 #shops in the #city. This week I went for a walk to explore some of the architecturally and visually rich retail sites that exist in Leeds. Here is the Thornton's Arcade #clock with animated characters beneath. The #arcade opened in 1878. #IgersLeeds #Yorkshire #England #architecture #building #leisure #life #travel #tourism #tourist #Leeds2023 #culture #art #history #arch #roof
