First recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book under the names Podechesaie and Podechesai, Pudsey’s roots run deep into West Yorkshire history.
Long before it officially became a town in 1878 - and famously granted borough status in 1900 under the very last incorporation bill granted by Queen Victoria - monks from nearby Kirkstall Abbey regularly grazed their sheep across its rolling fields.
Today, the market town retains a rich architectural footprint spanning centuries of textile, religious, and civic history.
Photographer Gerard Binks took a tour of Pudsey's most iconic streets to capture its heritage as it stands today.
