Leeds History: The Seacroft Shopping Centre

In Seacroft Shopping Centre was opened by The Queen in 1965 as part of the £1.25 million Civic Centre development which at the time was heralded as a novel way of building an outdoor purpose built town centre. It boasted a Grandways supermarket and Woolworths as well as many other smaller shops, banks, pubs and a library. The Centre was completely demolished in 1999 and redeveloped with a large new Tesco store taking up much of the site. #learnonyoutube #didyouknow #facts
