Description: | 18th February 1929.
The photo is of the lower end of Merrion Street running down towards New Briggate, showing the south side of the street prior to demolition (1929-30). Set back from the road to the right is part of the 500-seater New Briggate Synagogue and garden. Next to this (centre) is the back of the Victoria Club which straddled the space between New Briggate and Merrion Street. The rest of the building is visible in the centre background behind it. The building has 2 large paned windows on its gable end with a single door, and skylights visible in the roof. The 'front' of the club (background) is higher with sash windows. Right to left, a sloping terrace of 3-storey shops is pictured, Cabinet Makers Supply Stores (number 29), Mrs. Dora Tomblin, Wardrobe Dealer (number 27) and Merrion Studio Photographers (number 25). In the far left, New Briggate can be seen with Tower Picture House just visible. Road paved. Gas lamp visible in centre. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Cinema Merrion Street New Briggate New Briggate Synagogue | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
