TUESDAY. Leeds was our destination for today. We wandered around browsing in the shops and looking at the buildings. There are four shopping arcades, each of them rewarding your time taken in looking at all of the beautiful embellishments. The Leeds City Market covers a large area with a lot of decorated cast iron vaulting and pillars. It was built as an indoor market and has remained in use for this purpose to this day, so many towns are replacing these wonderful buildings with modern monstrosities or like Matlock, with no market at all. We returned to Woodlesford and moved off in the late afternoon. We moored overnight at Thwaites Mill, intending to moor in Clarence dock early next day.
Weather generally overcast, some bright intervals.
