The Leeds Intelligencer, or Leedes Intelligencer, was one of the first regional newspapers in Great Britain. It was founded in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1754 [1] and first published on 2 July 1754. [2] It was a weekly paper until it was renamed and became the daily Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer, first published on Monday 2 July 1866, until 1883 when the "and Leeds Intelligencer" was dropped from the title. [3] [4] It was published under the motto of The Altar, the Throne and the Cottage and was, from the outset, a conservative newspaper. [5] It dropped the extra 'e' from the name Leedes in 1765 [6] and was recognised as being anti-Catholic and being opposed to Chartism. [5]
In 1865 it was acquired by the Yorkshire Conservative Newspaper Company Limited (now Yorkshire Post Newspapers). [6]
