Once a developing mill town during the Industrial Revolution, boasting a bustling flax industry and iron foundries, Leeds has always had a somewhat industrial edge to it. Today, it combines its rich history with a vibrant culture that matches the city’s diversity. It’s therefore clear why Leeds has adopted the use of shipping containers in unconventional ways, from quirky bars to educational installations.
The city is already home to shipping container bars at Leeds dock but its latest shipping container venture is an impressive outdoor market and street food complex. Built solely using containers, this project is set to transform the iconic location and deliver an enhanced community space that integrates seamlessly with the existing indoor and outdoor market.

Our containers in action in Leeds
At Universal Containers, we’ve had the pleasure of carrying out shipping container projects for several customers in Leeds. These include a 40-ft container conversion into a food pantry for a church group and a bespoke shipping container canteen for the Locomotive Society.
Converting a new 40-ft container into a food pantry was an interesting project, requiring our teams to fully insulate it to ensure food could be stored safely and free from condensation. As part of this conversion, we lined the container with plywood, fitted electrics throughout, and installed doors and windows for easy access and security.
The canteen conversion in West Yorkshire was designed to enhance the Locomotive Society’s museum and workshop, offering more space for members. To meet the needs of the client and ensure the container blended with the museum’s historical charm, we cladded the exterior of the container and installed a pitched roof to maintain aesthetic appeal.
