Canal Walk and Visit to the Leeds Industrial Museum
Overview
Come and join us for a short walk along the Leeds Liverpool Canal to the Leeds Industrial Museum where we will stop for a visit. After we've had a look around we will make our way back to Granary Wharf. The walk is just under 2 miles there and just under 2 miles back on flat ground but the paths could be muddy so please wear appropriate footwear.
Leeds Industrial museum is an ex-textiles mill, once the biggest in the world and has a range of exhibits from tailoring of cloth, the moving image plus others connected to manufacturing in Leeds. The building itself is a marvel: built in 1805 and designed as fireproof, it only closed as a working mill in 1969.
Please be at The DoubleTree Hotel for a 11.30am start. If you want to meet us at the museum then please arrive for 12.30pm.
