The Calls
The Calls is an area and street by the River Aire in Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire, England. Formerly an area of industry in Leeds, The Calls is now successfully regenerated with a mixture of uses: primarily offices, residential and leisure. Coupled with Call Lane and Lower Briggate the area makes up the heart of the Leeds gay village.〔http://www.gayleeds.com/〕
The Calls area is the location of the second part of Leeds Pride after the Pride Parade has left the stage and stalls in Millennium Square.
==History==
The Calls area along with neighbouring Clarence Dock served as docks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Aire and Calder Navigation throughout the industrial revolution and the early 20th century.
The areas decline began in the early 20th century when Leeds' industry moved away from the centre out towards Hunslet, Holbeck, Armley and Kirkstall. Leeds' post-war industrial decline spelled the death knell for the area and the area became rundown and suffered from crime and vagrancy. Redevelopment began in the area in the 1990s.
