That was the picture painted by a Leeds-born and bred brewer who now claims he is excited to raise his young children in the city and use Leeds as a platform to develop his business.

Dan Logan, of Eyes Brewing, said: “I remember Call Lane and you just would not go there. Now it is the cool place. Everybody is now proud to be from Leeds and I am excited for my kids to be able to grow up in a place like Leeds. The city has really grown in 10 years and it is not slowing down.”
