Armchair Historians of Leeds

Welcome to the Armchair Historians of Leeds, where we explore everything from the battle-hardened past of our great city to the trivial bits that make you laugh when you're exactly two pints in. Here, we delve into topics such as the rise and fall of the wool trade, local legends about the world's oldest known flat cap, and where to find the best fish and chips in LS11. With a critical eye (and a pleasantly plump backside permanently affixed to our sofas), we are dedicated to sifting through the rich tapestry of Leeds' history while armed with a cup of Yorkshire tea and an overabundance of dry wit. Join us for weekly debates that occasionally devolve into tangents about celebrity life before dissolving into laughter as we present the dubious 'Leeds Hall of Fame,' featuring all those questionable local heroes like Auntie Edna, who swears she saw a ghost in the library.
