Looking north the entrance to Briggate and the Old Leeds bridge, engraved by T.A. Prior after W. Harvey, and published in 1849. The stone bridge, from which Briggate got its name, was the site of the cloth market in the seventeenth century. Widened in 1730, 1760 and 1796, it was demolished in 1871 to make way for the present Leeds Bridge.
Barges can be seen on the river. At no.1 Briggate, beneath the tower of Holy Trinity, can be seen the premises of John Barran, tailor and outfitter, who was to become the founder of the Leeds wholeslae clothing industry.
