 | c1899. View of Cheapside, Briggate. A large wicker basket with M R Leeds on it is in the foreground. Animal carcasses are visible in many of the shop fronts, because Cheapside and Fleet Street were the two streets that enlcosed the area known as The Shambles, and old term for butchers. This area was later torn down and replaced by The Empire Theater. People line the street and stand in the shop doorways.

| The Shambles (Wetherby) |
| 1st July 1914,
Built as a row of ten butchers shops in 1811 by the Duke of Devonshire. They were then only to be opened on the Thursday Market day. Alterations were made in 1888 when the original shops were converted into a covered market, the farmers sold fresh produce. In the early 1900s the facade was added.

View of The Shambles which run between Market Place and Cross Street. They originated as a row of butchers' shops in 1811, which only opened on a Thursday, Market Day. There is a blue plaque describing the history, seen to the right. The Shambles have been decorated with wooden planters and hanging baskets of winter flowering pansies.

| The Shambles, Middle Row, Briggate (City Centre) (1 comment) |
| Undated
View shows Middle Row. This row of shops was part of The Shambles which ran along Briggate from what would now be the junction with King Edward Street upto the entrance the County Arcade. The word Shamble comes from Seamol which was a bench where meat was displayed and sold. The Moot Hall and Middle Row behind were considered an obstruction to the throughfare of one of the city's busiest streets therefore after hundreds of years of existence, Middle Row was removed in 1825 moving to the newly opened Bazaar and Shambles between Briggate and Vicar Lane.
