LEEDS, THE HOST CITY

Abstract

LEEDS was one of the boom towns of an industrial revolution that made Britain the workshop of the world. The mushroom growth that raised the population from 53,000 to 429,000 between 1801 and 1901 when the long Victorian era ended, brought two waves of immigrants, the Irish in the Hungry 40s, the Jews from Russia and Poland in the 90s.
