Situated on University Road, this view shows the Yorkshire College buildings. Leeds University began life as the Yorkshire College, which had opened on Cookridge Street in 1874, moving to what was then the Beech Grove estate in 1877. In 1904 the Royal Charter granting University status was signed. Various buildings and schools were added to the site, including the Great Hall in 1894 and the Edward Baines memorial wing in 1885.
