Description: | 1982
The Church Institute was formed in 1857, the foundation stone for this building was laid in 1866. It is now 'La Senza' shop. This is Albion Place, the entrance is from Lands Lane, on the right. In the foreground is a fountain, it was part of the Lands Lane precinct scheme, an early move to provide traffic free shopping areas. The precinct was opened on 12th April 1972 by the Environment Secretary Peter Walker, M.P. Unfortunately the fountain was used as a large litter bin and was removed. The whole area was again improved to provide a pedestrianised area from Briggate through to Albion Street. The Lands Lane area now has many seats and is a popular venue for street entertainers. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Church Institute Albion Place Lands Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
