Hidden by the Pennine Hills, Leeds is guarded from any blizzard weather conditions in the winter, although fog tends to blanket the landscape. With a relatively cool climate throughout the year however, heavy rain fall is common – especially in August and September.
Originally, Leeds was a Saxon Village and in around 1086 had a population of around 200 people. It wasn’t until 1207 the Lord of the Manor, Maurice De Gant, founded a new town during a time that trade and commerce was prominent and created a new street of houses, dividing the land into plots for housing development.
New properties led to more rent paid to the Lord for the land and a new street called Brigg Gata (originally meaning Bridge Street) built a stronger community of butchers, bakers, carpenters and blacksmiths who were all helping the town of Leeds to flourish.
Leeds remains the largest city in Europe without a mass transit system, however with big plans from Leeds City Council to invest tens of millions of pounds into making the travelling more efficient; the city is set to be one of the easiest, greenest and cheapest places to commute to and travel around.
