About Fencing in Leeds
Leeds grew from a modest market town into Yorkshire's industrial capital, its wool trade already significant by the time of its incorporation in 1626, when the White Cloth Hall handled a sixth of England's export trade. The Industrial Revolution transformed the city further after Benjamin Gott brought all stages of cloth manufacture under one roof at Park Mills in 1792, and the completion of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1816, followed by the railways after 1848, cemented the city's position as a major centre of textile and locomotive engineering.

Types of Materials found in Leeds

The River Aire creates areas of softer alluvial ground through the city, while higher ground away from the river tends to be firmer, generally suited to standard concreted fence post footings.
