Owls? Yes, owls. Where less imaginative cities have lions or bears or other fearsome creatures, Leeds has owls. They’re all over the place. As I wander around the elegant, compact city center, built on textile wealth during the Industrial Revolution, I spot them everywhere. They’re on civic buildings, hotels, tapestries. There are golden owls, bridge owls, owls on plinths, owls in shopping malls.
