Vicar Lane, Leeds

The town's workhouse was built on its corner with Lady Lane in 1726, while at its junction with Kirkgate, there was an open area with pens for livestock taken to market.

[1] The road long marked the eastern edge of central Leeds, with back-to-back housing to its east.

In 1857, Kirkgate Market was built, with its main frontage on Vicar Lane, and when in 1904 it was rebuilt, the opportunity was taken to widen the street.

[2] In 1930, a bus station was opened, serving routes to towns north of Leeds and on the coast, only closing in 1990.

It ends at a major junction with the Leeds Inner Ring Road, where it merges with New Briggate, and the two continue together as North Street.
