Merrion Centre (Leeds, UK) : Dead Mall Capital of England? : ft. The Core & Leeds Trinity

In this video we take a tour of the Merrion Centre, one of the UK’s oldest malls, and The Core. We also get into the issue of how the opening of Trinity Leeds (and, more recently, Victoria Gate) has changed the retail landscape of the city.

Thank you to VanCorner (   / @vancorner4051  ) for allowing me to use some of their Victoria Quarter/Gate footage!
