Description: | Undated, (c.1969-1977)
View shows the carved tympanum above the main entrance to the Town Hall. Five figures are visible. On the left is Industry seen with a hammer and anvil holding cloth samples. The standing figure which follows to the right represents Poetry and Music and holds a lyre and a pipe. Leeds is visible in the centre with a wreath in her right hand and a distaff, which is a tool used while spinning thread, in her left. She stands in front of a judicial chair where an owl is perched on either side. The owls which represent Wisdom are also part of the Leeds coat of arms. Continuing right are Fine Arts holding painting equiptment and Science shown with a globe and compass. Above the figures is an archway made up of carved panel which depict devices from the coat of arms with the scales of justice in the central keystone.
