Leeds Audio Tour: The Bell, the Bandsaw and the Bridge

Audio guide14 stops

A 15-stop walking tour of the working day of Leeds — from Michael Marks's 1884 penny stall in Kirkgate Market, through the 1711 White Cloth Hall and the ghost of the 1758 Coloured Cloth Hall under City Square, to John Barran's 1858 band-knife and the Hispano-Moorish tailoring palace it paid for, the Holbeck mills where Salamanca rolled out in 1812 and flax was spun under a grass-and-sheep roof, and finally to Leeds Bridge where the everyday traffic was filmed in October 1888 and a working morning became the oldest cinema in Britain.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.

Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
