What do do for a half day in Leeds, UK?

Leeds is two hours down the Road from us & home to my football team LUFC.
Plenty of places to visit from the City Museum, Victoria Square, Roundhay Park & not least, the official oldest fish & chip shop in the world, served since 1865.

Gorge yourself on fish and chips and spotted dick.

@eyesoreu What is the name of the fish and chips shop?

Literally called The World’s Longest Serving Fish & Chip Shop :D
It’s in Yeadon

Scratch that…
The Oldest Fish & Chip Shop in the World is the name above the door.

Thanks!

Yeadon is a fair few miles from Leeds centre, however.

@Kropotkin Yes, I saw that, thanks. I’ll probably skip the fish and chips thing.

The Royal Armories Museum is definelty worth a visit if you are interested. Also its free so you cant go wrong. If I remember corectly the Leeds industrial museum is nearby and I enjoyed that as well. (Although they charge for enrty I think. The capitalist pigs)

I saw there is a medical museum you might enjoy as well.

@Lightlyseared I don’t mind paying for entry to a good museum.
@janbb Thanks. I saw that too

@Caravanfan That was borderline sarcasm/humour… the majority of national museums in the UK are have free entry… and its a museum about the industrial revolution.

@Lightlyseared Oh, I see, sorry. In the US the federal museums at the Smithonsian are free also. In Leeds I think I have it narrowed down to the Industrial museum and the Thackroy Museum of Medicine. I might change my mind and go to the armory museum but I’m more interested in history than looking at cool weapons and armor.

Oh the other hand – and this is probably off-topic for your Q – but I’ve been pretty surprised in several visits to the UK in the past few decades that you have to pay (or donate) to enter and view a cathedral. They used to be free to access.

@janbb The last time I was at a cathedral in the UK was in Edinburgh. It was free but I came back for an organ recital that cost 10 quid. And as I said before I don’t mind a nominal payment or a donation. They have to get their upkeep from something.

@Caravanfan I get that. I just have found it odd that religious houses of worship ask you to pay to view. Although when we were at York a few years ago we would have had to pay 10 quid to view the Minster but we could attend a vespers service for free – which we did. It could well be that the state supported the C of E more in the past than they do now which again is understandable.
