Summary : Manor house and moat (site) alleged castle
More information : [SE 2994 3340] Leeds Manor House is said to have occupied the site of Scarborough's Hotel in Bishopgate St. near the west end of Boar Lane. The site of a moat was found in excavations for the late Commercial Buildings in 1828 and this is traditionally the site of a castle (1), but this is a confusion for Leeds Castle in Kent. There was no castle at Leeds, Yorks (2). (1-2) The Scarbrough Hotel is situated at SE 2998033320 and the commercial buildings (now the Royal Exchange) at SE 2996033420. No further information was obtained. (3)
