The abbey, which dates back to 1152, is one of the best-preserved sites of its kind. It was closed as a religious monastery in the mid-1500's at which time its elaborate windows and stonework were removed and used in local architectural projects. Kirkstall Abbey's grounds have lush gardens and the complex features a church, tower, cloisters, and chapterhouse.

Queen Victoria commissioned this ornate structure in 1858, with the Great Hall later named in her honor. The tower and the four-ton bell were added several years later, as was the massive organ that's estimated at 1.25m pounds. In 1978, the facility was renovated. This multi-purpose facility has enjoyed a long storied history and hosts a variety of wide-ranging cultural and civic events.

Following 46 years of construction, the canal was completed in 1816 and spans 127 miles across the Pennines. Today, this area is a popular recreation site. In years past, the canal served as an integral cargo transport system, drawing its revenue via tolls. Consequently, maintenance was a crucial priority, and unlike many of its British counterparts, this canal was never completely closed to traffic.
