Marketing Intelligence for Local Businesses in Colton
In Leeds's corner of the Yorkshire and The Humber region, Colton covers postcode district LS15 and borders Colton Common, Cross Gates and Whitkirk. Leeds Kirkgate Market, one of Europe's largest covered markets, began as an open-air market in 1822 and is the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, founded here in 1884 when Michael Marks set up a 'penny bazaar' stall with the slogan 'Don't ask the price, it's a penny'. Today the Victorian market hall still holds over 800 stalls and draws more than 100,000 visitors a week.
