View looks up Park Row onto the original St. Anne's Cathedral. The Cathedral was built by John Child between 1837 and 38 to provide a large capacity place of worship for Catholic followers in the city centre. The cathedral was situated at the junction of Cookridge Street and what was Guildford Street (now The Headrow). The Cathedral was demolished in 1904 following a compulsory purchase order by Leeds City Council to facilitate the widening and resiting of The Headrow. Work on the replacement cathedral on the junction of Cookridge Street and Great George Street began in 1902. The last mass was held in the original Cathedral on April 27th 1904 with services commencing at the new Cathedral from the following month. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St. Anne's Cathedral Cookridge Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
