With pound signs in their eyes, itappears the Council is ready tosacrifice one of the city’s mostvaluable assets. We have watchedit being systematically run downover the past 20 years. Rents (nowthe highestmarket rents in theUK,

A FANTASTIC ASSET FOR THE CITY

Does the market need upgrading?Yes, of course it does. For years ithassufferedfromlackofinvestmentand promotion. The Market makesaround £1.5 - £2million a year forthe Council – surely some of thisshouldhavebeenploughedbackin?

At a recent public meeting organised by the Friends of Kirkgate Market, we were made aware of various suggestions being put forward by Leeds City Council regarding the future of the Market. The one apparently favoured by the Council advocates cutting the size of the market by 25%, reducing the number of stall holders from 400 to 100, demolishing the newer halls and selling off this prime real estate that’s smack, bang in the middle of the city.

There are curtain traders,bed linens, second hand furniture,clothing,shoes,phoneandcomputeraccessories, nail bars, hairdressers,fishpedicures–thelistgoeson.

UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE AND PERSONALITY

In reducing the number of stallsto 100, this fantastic variety andchoice will disappear - competitionwill be a thing of the past, priceswill riseandtheuniqueatmosphereand personalities of themarket willbe lost. As Liz Laughton, Chair ofthe Market Traders told us at themeeting:

“Peoplematter in themarket. I lovethemarkethumourandpersonalities.I love the noise and the colours ofmarket life; thecodeofhonour thatexists; the weird and wonderfulpeopleof Leeds. And, I experiencedfirst hand the friendship when Icelebrated the100thanniversaryofmybusiness.”

We servefamilies, office workers and TVpersonalities. We say hello to thehomeless and lonely. We embracethe strange and loopy and helpthosehavingdifficulties.That’swhatthe market is all about. It’s specialand can’t be replicated. It needsprotectingsothatmoney,greedandshort-sightednessdon’tdestroyit.”

CATERING FOR ALL

People matter in the market. I love the market humour and personalities. I love the noise and the

Leonora was born in 1873 in Hunslet. Her father, Canova Throp, a sculptor, died of TB when she was only five, and his widow Jane struggled to bring up their three children alone, working as a seamstress.

At 14, Leonora was apprenticed to a city centre milliner and worked long hours without pay until she was upgraded as a probationer, then paid 2s 6d a week. By 16, having proved herself skilled and efficient, she was promoted to head milliner. In her mid-twenties she became a millinery buyer in Bridlington, and in 1900 she married Henry Cohen, her long-term sweetheart from Leeds.

Neither family approved. The Jewish Cohens were dismayed that their son was marrying an outsider, and cut him off. Leonora’s mother felt that her daughter should not marry at all, but devote her life to improving the lot of her fellow women, ill-paid, exploited, and with no political voice.

Leonora and Henry set up house in Leeds. Their first baby died, but a son followed, and for the next nine years Leonora devoted herself to being a wife and mother. Henry prospered in his jewellery business and their life was happy and comfortable. But Leonora did not forget her earlier experience and her mother’s sense of injustice: she took an increasing interest in campaigns to improve women’s pay and conditions and in the women’s suffrage movement. Henry and her brothers encouraged and supported her political activities.

By 1911 Leonora was secretary of the Leeds branch of the militant

Women’s Social and Political Union. In November the Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, broke his commitment to votes for women by announcing a manhood suffrage bill. This betrayal inspired Leonora to fight on. Although terrified by the prospect of violence, she joined a deputation to Westminster, and a huge demonstration ensued, ending with window-smashing and stone-throwing. She and many others were arrested and imprisoned. She served seven days in Holloway, an experience which only hardened her resolve. Her family staunchly stood by her, though they lost all their friends.

Under the leadership of the Pankhursts, suffragette guerrilla activities spiralled and in Leeds Leonora addressed meetings and rallies, exposing herself to constant abuse and threats. In 1913 she joined demonstrations in London, where she chose the Tower of London for her own dramatic protest. She was so nervous that she travelled round twice in the tube before entering the Tower with her hidden weapon.

Leonora was put on trial but acquitted on a technicality. Back in Leeds, she continued her militant activities alongside other fervent loyalists. Asquith’s visit to Leeds in November 1913 was a red rag. In spite of tightened security, two suffragettes tried to set fire to the Headingley football stand, and violent demonstrations took place around the Hippodrome where Asquith was to speak. Leonora was arrested for smashing windows and was sent to Armley Gaol. She declared a hunger and thirst strike.

Two days later, near collapse, she was released on licence under the notorious ‘Cat and Mouse’ Act. Desperate and angry, Henry wrote to the Home Secretary in protest, but was persuaded to take Leonora away to avoid further life-threatening imprisonment. They moved to Harrogate, where Leonora set up a vegetarian boarding house, once giving sanctuary to a suffragette fleeing from the police.

The outbreak of war in 1914 interrupted the suffragette campaigns and brought about a change of heart in government. In February 1918 women over 30 were given the vote, and 10 years later women over 21 finally attained full voting equality with men.

Leonora remained energetic and active during and after the war, and in the 1920s the family moved back to Leeds, to Clarendon Road (marked by a blue plaque). Awarded an OBE in 1928, she served as a Leeds magistrate for over 30 years. She never lost her ideals, devoting much of her time to the Trade Union movement, campaigning for better working conditions.

Her devoted Henry died in 1949, but Leonora, fighter as she was, lived on until she was 105.

THEY LIVED IN LEEDSLeonora Cohen, 1873 -1978

JP, OBE, Militant Suffragette

On Saturday 1 February 1913 an elegantly dressed woman followed a group of school boys into the Jewel House at the Tower of London. The Beefeaters assumed she was a teacher until she suddenly pulled an iron bar from her coat and flung it over the boys’ heads, smashing a glass showcase. She was forced to the ground and arrested. Wrapped around the bar was a piece of paper declaring: ‘This is my protest against the Government’s treachery to the working women of Great Britain’. Her name was Leonora Cohen, a housewife from Leeds.

This month Red Ladder Theatrecompany,inaco-productionwithLeedsCivicArtsGuildandTheCarriageworks,brings Anthony Clavane’s book,PromisedLand,tothestage.

Written as a personal memoir andcultural history of Leeds, PromisedLand chronicles Clavane’s experiencegrowingupinLeedsinthe1970swithparticular emphasis on the turbulentfortunesofthecity’sfootballclub.

ClavanehaslivedawayfromLeedsfortwenty years and considers himself a‘Loiner inexile’,however,asPromisedLand and his frequent pilgrimages toEllandRoadattest,hisloveforthecityandhisdevotiontoLeedsUnitedremainundimmed. Being the descendant ofRussian Jewish immigrants, the bookalsoaddressesClavane’sancestryandillustrates the role of Leeds’ Jewishcommunityinshapingthehistoryofthecity.

As with many formerly industrialnortherntowns,thesenseofcommunitythat surrounds the local football club(especially in a one club city such asLeeds) is integraltotheidentityofthecity.AsClavaneputsit:“football isthelastbastionofworkingclasscommunalsolidarity”.

Clavane feels thatwith a city such asLeeds,thestoryandcharacterofthecityis inexorably linked with the triumphsandfailuresofitsfootballclub.Hefeels

that the optimism engendered by thecultural and economic regenerationof Leeds since the 60s suggests thatLUFCmaywellriseagainandgainentryto the ‘promised land’ denied themwhentheylosttheEuropeanCupFinaltoBayernMunichin1975.

Theplay,likethebook,lookssettobeanexuberant celebrationof Leeds, itsfootballcluband itscommunities.Thepassion and loyalty of Leeds fans islegendary and, in addition to the livebandplayingoriginalmusicalsowrittenbyClavane, theproductionwill featurethesingingofLeedsfanswhoactasakindofGreekchorus.

As an aspiring writer growing up inLeeds, Clavanewas deeply influencedby the work of KeithWaterhouse andstrongly indentified with the dilemmaof Billy Liar, whether or not to leavehis home city to pursue the enticingopportunity of London. Throughoutthe book there are many nods toWaterhouse’s hero and in developingit theatrically Clavane continues hishomagewithnewembellishmenttohislovelettertoLeeds.

ForthestageversionofPromisedLand,which Clavane has adapted with NickStimson,aparallellovestoryhasbeenintroduced concerning the flourishingromance betweenNathan and Caitlin,two Leeds youngsters divided by theirreligiousandculturalbackgrounds.

As well as presenting a story whichhitsclosetohomeformanyofus,theproductionisalsoashowcaseforlocaltalentandarousingexpressionofcivicpride.AsAnthonyClavanehimselfsays:“I’mreallyexcitedabouttheopportunityto bring this story to life with such alarge cast of local performers – in amonthwhenLeedsiscelebratingsportwith the arrival of the Olympic torch– I think it’s a great chance for us torecognise theambitionand self beliefthatbuiltourcity–theDonRevies,theCuthbertBrodericksandthepioneeringimmigrants,whoaimedforthetop.”

From there the exhibition takes uson a journey charting the evolutionand development of the internet weknow today, from the first gargantuancomputers which look like they were

Along the way we learn about thevisionaries and pioneers who havemade our brave new world possible.Inevitably,attention ispaid to theriseof social media and the potential forsuch platforms as an instrument ofsocial change, as seen in the use ofTwitterintherecentArabSpring.

The conventions of horror moviesarenowso familiarandwellworn it’sbecoming ever more difficult to doanything original with the genre. Thegrim predictability of events is oftenpart of the fun and, oddly for a styleoffilmmakingthatreliessoheavilyonshocks and surprises, it’s comfortingthatyouprettymuchknowwhereyouarewithahorrormovie.Youknowthedrill;agroupofprettybutvacantteenstryandhavesexwithoneanotherandaregorilydispatchedonebyonebyaderanged axe-wielding psychopath/supernaturalbeing/backwoodsinbredcannibalistic hillbillies (delete asappropriate).

Don’t Want To Move? It Could Pay To Improve!

Who would have thought that the slogan of a century-old American

chocolate bar company would come to embody the philosophy of a modern Yorkshire building fi rm?

Kevin Payne of Renov8 Builders has always taken a long view of dealing with customers. “I realized early on in this profession that if you treat people right, they’ll come back to you for more. So I’ve always concentrated on doing the best quality job possible, using the best materials available. It may cost a bit more sometimes, but the end result is always worth it. And our customers really notice the difference; that’s why a small job can often lead to much more work for the same customer over a period of time.”

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that Kevin and his business partners discovered the guiding philosophy of American chocolate bar magnate Milton Hershey, who said, ‘The best form of advertising is… give them quality.’ When Kevin saw those words he thought, “That’s it! That’s exactly how we operate at Renov8; it’s why so many of our customers recommend us to their friends - so I’ll use it in our advertising!”

A family run businessRenov8 Limited is a family run building business located off York Road in Leeds (behind Great Clothes), with a wealth of experience and a history of getting it right fi rst time, with a minimum of fuss and disruption.

Small jobs are undertaken with the same care as major operations, as most of their customers come back time and time again. Customers’ recommendations are very important to Renov8, as they realise that happy customers are their best sales force!

At Renov8 they treat your home as your castle and largest investment. So all work carried out is done in an effi cient, professional manner. All quotes are inclusive of everything needed for the installation in hand, so there are no nasty surprises. They don’t take shortcuts, they will source the best materials available for the job, and ensure that all work is carried out by highly trained craftsmen.

No job too big or smallRenov8 are well resourced to undertaken any size of project, from complete installations of kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, to conservatories, porches and orangeries, house extensions, loft conversions and garages.

They also have considerable expertise in the installation of UPVC and hardwood

windows and doors, and all roofi ng work, including fascias, soffi ts, guttering and GRP canopies. In addition, Renov8 lay high quality, impressive driveways, including block paving and stamp concrete paving. As Kevin says, ‘There’s not much we can’t do when it comes to building, and whatever we undertake, we always start and fi nish with the guiding principle, ‘give them quality’.
