Rumours about secret spaces under the streets of Leeds may easily be dismissed as far-fetched urban myths, but a hidden side to the city actually does exist. From air raid shelters and nuclear bunkers to abandoned subway systems, there are a startling number of mysterious underground areas which have long been forgotten.

14. First White Cloth Hall
It is one of the most historic buildings in Leeds - finally being restored after years of neglect. Last autumn, builders found a pit, sump and keystone within the structure that were several hundred years old.
