John Cossins’ 1726 Plan of Leeds shows a street labelled “Calls” from the Leeds Bridge to Leeds Parish Church. The old street sign also shows it as “Calls”, without “the”. The name “Calls” is believed to come from the Latin word callis, meaning a beaten path, to a ford in Roman times near the present Leeds Bridge. “The Calls” was originally an open space mainly of orchards, but is now a built up area. 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 area’s decline began in the early 20th century when Leeds’ industry moved away from the centre out towards Hunslet, Holbeck, Armley and Kirkstall. From 1985 to 1995 Leeds Corporation carried out a major regeneration with careful conversion of listed building warehouses and new build in sympathetic style for a mixed use area. This includes the historic Fletlands Corn Mills into a boutique hotel, 42 The Calls Hotel, in 1991. The Centenary Footbridge by Ove Arup & Partners across the river to Brewery Wharf was opened in 1993. A silver ball fountain was installed to commemorate this work.
