Summary

Description
English: The Headrow Seen here at the junction with Eastgate and Vicar Lane. Leeds was granted its first charter by Maurice Paynel in 1207, and this led to the creation of Briggate, a wide street, lined with houses and shops with gardens behind. At the northern end of Briggate, at right angles to it was the Head Row, so-called because of its situation at the 'Head' of the town. It appears on the earliest surviving plan of Leeds made in 1560. The Head Row formed the northern boundary of the medieval town; beyond were the open fields. Originally, it would have followed the line of one of the 'headlands', which gave access to the fields.
