Just outside Leeds railway station there are some plaques showing companies which were established in Leeds.I can remember there was one for Wallace Arnold, ASDA and I am assuming there will be one for M & S. I don't venture that way in/out of Leeds any more and wondered if how many of these plaques there are and what companies are shown. Thank you
