Here are eight forgotten Leeds schemes that could have changed things.
7. Leeds Arena Hotel
International hotel chain Hilton had planned to occupy a 16-storey hotel proposed for Portland Crescent, close to the First Direct Arena. Initial planning permission was granted in 2009, but by 2011 no work had begun. Construction finally started in 2013, but was halted in 2015 when the contractors, GB Building Solutions, entered administration. Photo: James Hardisty
8. The Leeds Trolleybus
Presented as an alternative to the failed Supertram scheme, the trolleybus system was to be similar to the one operating in the French city of Lyon. It was to be powered electrically by overhead wires and would involve eight stages of the 14km line. Despite support from local council, the public backlash won the argument as the Government scrapped the scheme in May 2016. Photo: Stock
