View of the Bronze statue of James Watt(1736-1819).
Watt was a Scottish engineer who developed the steam engine.
He made Thomas Newcomen's steam engine more efficient by cooling the used steam in a condenser separate from the main cylinder.
The Bronze statue of James Watt was by Henry Charles Fehr and was unveiled in 1903 when City Squire was opened.
It was paid for by Councillor Richard Wainwright. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | City Square James Watt Statue | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
