From varied causes and peoples including Chartists to Suffragettes in many places including Holbeck to Chapeltown the City of Leeds has seen many riots over the years. I created two things – a static map of some Leeds Riots for a print publication (RIOT!) in conjunction with Leeds based Fictions Of Every Kind. And an interactive map website LeedsRiotMap.co.uk
Made for James (Jimmy) Cauty’s ADP Riot Tour visit to The Chemic Tavern, Leeds, 14-21 July 2016, the Leeds Riot Map shows 23 riots from 1643 to 2002.
http://leedsriotmap.co.uk/ was made using the JQuery + Leaflet StoryMap plugin. As you scroll through the riots in chronological order, the map zooms and pans to the location of the riot. The basemap is Stamen’s black and white OSM basemap. Locations are approximate (interestingly, it was the more modern riots which were harder to place) and the details and reporting isnt guaranteed to be accurate either!
Should you spot errors or omissions with the site, please contact me or add an issue on github.

Hi Tim
I came across the Leeds riot map from a link on Twitter and think it’s something we would like to have a copy of in the Local History collection at Leeds Central Library! Please get in touch at localandfamilyhistory@leeds.gov.uk to discuss further.
Thanks
