Leeds Dock

[1] It was primarily used to bring coal from collieries around Rothwell and Wakefield to supply heavy industries in Hunslet and business and commerce in Leeds city centre.

The mills and many heavy engineering works began to close, move further out of town or scale down.

[3] Construction of the £42.5 million purpose-built Royal Armouries Museum marked the start of the area's redevelopment which opened in March 1996.

[4] No further development was made until 2004 when a multi-storey car park opened followed by an Express hotel in August 2006.

[12] Leeds Dock's main shopping street, 'The Boulevard' radiates southbound from Armouries Square.
