Multitude industries have contributed to Leeds' finances, but the city is particularly renowned for its clothes trade. There are a number of renowned names associated with the city, which contain Thomas Chippendale who began building his renowned furniture there, and Michael Marks - of m and s - who opened his initially Penny Bazaar there in 1884.

In addition to this, it is also home to the historic Kirkgate Market. The market is Europe’s 2nd largest indoor market after Leicester and is open 6 days a week. There are over 400 stalls inside the market and a further two hundred outside. It attracts over 100 thousand visitors every single week.

Kirkgate Market first opened in 1822 as an open air market and the initially inside bits were built between 1850 and 1875. Unfortunately, much of the structure, except the Vicar Lane facade, was destroyed in a 1975 fire. inspite of the cost, the Market was refurbished in the early 1990s and following this, Kirkgate Market was upgraded from a Grade II to a Grade I listed building.
