History of Queen Street in Leeds

Queen Street in Leeds City Centre is a street with an intriguing history, and some unanswered questions! There was once an independent chapel here, complete with its own burial ground – but what happened to the bodies? It’s a place where a passionate anti-slavery public meeting was held – who was the famous speaker? And what about the talk of tunnels under the street?
