Leeds
The rising importance of Leeds is shown by the large number of its tokens, second only to those of the city of York. The importance of the woolen business, of which Leeds was the metropolis, conduced to its great prosperity. It suffered severely through the Civil Wars; but still more, in March, 1644-45, from the ravages of the plague, when more than a fifth of the pouplations perished. Report says that grass grew in Cross parish, and that birds dropped down dead as they flew over the town. |
