The street south of St. John's Church is still called Mark Lane, though the Corn Exchange is no longer there. Merry Boys HillButts Hill on our map is now known as Guildford Street, and only a few months ago it was actually proposed to call Vicar Lane "the Strand"-a monstrous piece of vandalism. The Strand in London is so called because it runs along the north bank of the Thames. I know of no reason for giving that title to Vicar Lane.

I ought now to enumerate some of the principal buildings shown on our Waterloo Map. There were then five churches in Leeds. The Parish Church, which of course was what we now call the Old Church, though there had probably been more than one prior church on the site. The one shown on the map was pulled down in 1838. St. John's, built by John Harrison in the seventeenth century; Trinity, the cost of which was largely defrayed by Lady Betty Hastings; St. Paul's, in Park Square; and St. James's, in York Street. The last-named church was built about 1794 for Dissenters of Lady Huntingdon's connection.

The Leeds vicarage then stood in Kirkgate, at the south end of Vicar Lane, surrounded by ground still spoken of as the Vicar's Croft.

Of the chapels shown on the map a list of fifteen is given in the margin. I will now give that list, with such remarks with regard to each as occur to me. Several of the chapels are no longer used for religious purposes.

Albion Chapel, Albion Street. This is in Albion Walk, and was formerly used as an Independent Chapel. It is now used as offices, and it has attached to it a graveyard, lying between the building and the premises of Powolny's, Limited.

Bank Chapel, Richmond Hill. This is shown on the map as situate at the top of Richmond Street. It is no longer used as a chapel; but it may be stated here that on the Ordnance Map of 1847 there is a building in Upper Cross Street, called Bank Chapel, which was afterwards used as a school, and has recently been converted into a rag warehouse.

Baptist Chapel, St. Ann's Street, St. Peter's. This is known as the Old Stone Chapel on the west side of St. Peter's Street. It has for many years been used as a boot factory.

Bethel Chapel, St. George Street, Vicar Lane. This street is now called George Street. There is no building there now used as a chapel.

Call Lane Chapel. This is one of the oldest Dissenting chapels in Leeds. It was formerly used by the Arians. It is still used as

a chapel.

Ebenezer Chapel. This was at the top of Ebenezer Street, near George Street. The building is still standing, but it is now used as a cooper's shop.

The Friends' Meeting House in Water Lane is still standing, and has been added to in recent years.

The Inghamite Chapel was situate in Duke Street. The premises were afterwards known as Nos. 16 and 17, Duke Street. It was used as a chapel in 1847.

The Old Methodist Chapel was said to be situate in St. Ann's Street, St. Peter's, now called St. Peter's Street; there is still a Methodist Chapel there, though it is believed that the building shown on the map has given place to a newer structure.

The Old White Chapel in Hunslet Lane was situate south of the South Market; it is not now used for religious purposes.

The New Methodist Chapel in Albion Street was for many years used as a cloth warehouse by Vance & Co. and Robinson, Clay and Co. It now forms part of the premises occupied by the Mutual Supply Society.

Mill Hill Chapel was a very old Dissenting place of worship. The building shown on our map gave place to the present Gothic chapel in 1847.

The Roman Catholic Chapel was situate in Lady Lane. Thoresby says that there was a chapel or chantry on or near this site before the Reformation, but the present chapel-which is now used as a Methodist chapel-was the first Roman Catholic chapel in Leeds, though before its erection the congregation used a temporary building in a yard out of Briggate.

An interesting account of the Roman Catholic revival in Leeds has recently been published by the Rev. N. Waugh.

Salem Chapel was and still is in Hunslet Lane, and is still used by the Congregationalists, as also is the Wesleyan Chapel in Meadow Lane by the Wesleyans. This is now called Wesley Chapel.

Of other public buildings the following may be named:-The Coloured Cloth Hall, on the site of the Post Office and City Square; the White Cloth Hall, in the Calls; the old Infirmary, at the bottom of East Parade, though there was an older one still in a yard out of Kirkgate; the Court House, in Park Row, afterwards used as a post office, and recently demolished to make way for the

Standard buildings; the Music-hall, in Albion Street; the King's Mills, in Swinegate; the Lancasterian School, south of Boar Lane; the Library, in Commercial Street; Potter's and St. John's Almshouses, and Jenkinson's Almshouses, then in Boar Lane; the Workhouse, at the corner of Lady Lane and North Street; the House of Recovery, in Vicar Lane.

The Assembly Rooms were over part of the White Cloth Hall. This building still exists, though no part of it is used as a Cloth Hall, and the North-Eastern Railway crosses the site.

The only National School in the town appears to have been one in connection with the Parish Church, situate west of High Court Lane. There appears to have been no building where the present Parish Church Schools now stand.

The Post Office was in Duncan Street, on a site afterwards occupied by the Central Market. At one time it was in Mill Hill; afterwards at the bottom of Albion Street; then it was removed to the Old Court House at the bottom of Park Row, where the work was carried on until the present Post Office was built.

Briggate, as has already been mentioned, terminated at the end of Kirkgate. There the old Moot Hall stood, with Queen Anne's statue in the front of it. The Market Cross was higher up, in the part of what is now Briggate, then called Cross Parish.

There were four banks in the town. The Old Bank (Beckett and Co.), on the east side of Briggate, below Duncan Street; the Union Bank (William Williams Brown & Co.), in Commercial Street; the Commercial Bank, on the west side of Briggate, at the entrance to Commercial Court; and the New Bank, in Bank Street.

Four bars are shown, which might lead to the inference that Leeds was once a walled town. North Bar was in North Street, a little north of the top of Lady Lane; East Bar was at the end of Kirkgate, near the Parish Church; West Bar was in Boar Lane; and Burley Bar in what is now called Guildford Street, at the top of Merry Boys Hill.

Before the present admirable and copious supply of water was obtained from the Washburn and the Wharfe Valley, Leeds was supplied from the River Aire at Leeds Bridge, and our map reminds us of this, for it shows the two reservoirs which existed in Albion Street and near St. John's Church, as well as the pumping station, known as Pitfall Mill. Other buildings shown are the Charity School, near St. John's Church, the Grammar School, North Street, as built by John Harrison before it was enlarged southward, and

before the Writing School and Library on the west side were built; the Library, in Commercial Street, the News-room, on the east side of Briggate, north of Duncan Street, the Old Theatre, in Hunslet Lane. The bridge between Kirkgate and Marsh Lane was then, as now, called Timble Bridge, a name which has been said to be derived from Temple, because perhaps the road over it was not the way to Temple Newsam. Perhaps the guesser responsible for this etymology did not know that in 1379 there were only four inhabitants of Leeds assessed at the large sum of 12d., and one of these was Johannes de Tymbill, and he had four servants, each of whom was assessed at 4d.

Much more might be written about this interesting map, but it is feared the length of this paper has already exceeded reasonable dimensions.
