The Leeds Audio Tour: The Bell, the Bandsaw and the Bridge takes place on 3 October 2026 at City Square in Leeds. This 15-stop walking tour explores the working day history of the city, visiting sites such as Kirkgate Market and Holbeck mills. Participants will hear stories about John Barran's band-knife and the filming of everyday traffic at Leeds Bridge.
This audio tour traces the working day of Leeds across fifteen stops, beginning at Michael Marks's 1884 penny stall in Kirkgate Market and moving through the 1711 White Cloth Hall to reveal the ghost of the 1758 Coloured Cloth Hall beneath City Square. The route continues to John Barran's 1858 band-knife and the Hispano-Moorish tailoring palace it funded, before visiting the Holbeck mills where Salamanca fabric was rolled out in 1812 and flax spun under a grass-and-sheep roof.
The journey concludes at Leeds Bridge, where everyday traffic was filmed in October 1888 to create what is now recognised as the oldest cinema in Britain. The tour covers these historical sites and locations within the city's industrial heritage.
