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

The palques are restricted to just being on the railings on the extreme end of the long stay car park.Elida Gibbs have one,showing "Soapy Joes",which was on the other side of the river near the station
