8. We arent fans of multiplexes
The cinema experience is a little different here in Leeds, with the city being home to two picture houses that are both over 100 years old. Cute, quirky and traditional, these venues are still the best places to see a new flick. Photo: Staff

10. The joy of shopping at Lewiss
Lewis's huge department store on the Headrow sold everything from clothing to furniture and was a much loved shopping spot in the city. It later became a branch of Allders in the 1990s following the company's demise. Photo: JPIMedia
