Summary
Leeds is celebrating 400 years since its royal charter with a dazzling restoration of Centenary Bridge — the city’s first new river crossing in over a century, opened in 1993. Designed by local graduate Colin Harris with humble tools like a drawing pin and string, this iconic 43-meter span now gleams with fresh paint, thanks to city council efforts. More than just a bridge, it’s a catalyst for regeneration, linking Brewery Wharf to bustling offices and bars, even hosting Channel Four. Part of the Leeds 400 initiative, its revival honors the city’s evolution — and with the new David Oluwale Bridge added in 2023, Leeds is boldly bridging its past, present, and future.
