Leeds may be a modern, bustling city, but some of its oldest buildings have been standing for centuries.
From grand estates to tucked-away historic gems, buildings across Leeds offer a glimpse into a city whose story stretches back long before it received its first city charter in 1626.
As Leeds continues to celebrate 400 years since that landmark moment this year, it is a good time to look back at some of the places that have survived the centuries and remain part of the city today.
Here are 10 of the oldest buildings that have survived for hundreds of years.

Whitelock's Ale House in Turk's Head Yard dates from 1715 and occupies a medieval burgage plot. It was described by poet John Betjeman as 'the very heart of Leeds'. | YPN
10. The Pack Horse
A pub on the site first opened in 1615 as The Nag’s Head, although it may have been the site of a drinking house since the 1130s. It became The Pack Horse after a major 1982 renovation. | James Hardisty
