Welcome to
No. 1 Dock Street, Leeds
Riverside living. Redefined.
History of 1 Dock Street
The Leeds waterfront has changed dramatically over the centuries - from a thriving industrial hub to a contemporary neighbourhood of shops, bars and riverside living. Yet traces of its rich heritage remain, giving the area a distinctive character that makes it both a fascinating and desirable place to call home.
No.1 Dock Street began life in the 1800s as a commercial warehouse, at a time when Leeds Bridge and the canal network were at the centre of the city’s industrial growth. In 1888, the building played a quiet role in cinematic history: Louis Le Prince captured the world’s first moving image, Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge, from a window that now forms part of a private apartment.
The red-brick conversion was once home to the British Waterways offices, while the site of the adjacent new-build block was previously occupied by another warehouse. With the rise of city centre living in the late 1980s, the area saw a second life. Developer Wilson Connolly (now part of Taylor Wimpey) transformed the original building into apartments, and brought in respected local architects Carey Jones to design a sympathetic modern addition.
Completed in the early 2000s, the new-build received the City of Leeds Award for its contribution to the evolving urban landscape - a balance of heritage and progress that still defines No.1 Dock Street today.
