Just two miles west of Leeds city center on Canal Road is the former Armley Mills, once the world's largest woolen mills and now home to the excellent Leeds Industrial Museum.
The museum presents the fascinating history of wool production in Yorkshire from the 18th century onwards, as well as exhibits concerning the manufacturing of textiles and clothing, printing, engineering, and locomotives.
While there, spend a little time exploring the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which links these two important industrial cities.
