Here is a pretty good slide show of the history of Kirkgate going back to middle ages. It has the remains of old walls uncovered by the demolition of the White Cloth Hall. Some are the remains of the medieval Hospitium, and priests chantry house.http://www.slideshare.net/LeedsMinster/ ... ds-minster

We weren't looking for artifacts, just cursing the rubble pile of bricks at the time
