Description: | Undated.
Print looking along Park Row to the old St. Anne's Cathedral. The area in the foreground is the site of City Square with Boar Lane to the right. On the corner of Boar Lane and Park Row are the Commercial Buildings, a Georgian building designed by John Clark and opened on October 12th 1829 at the cost of ?28,000. This building was demolished by June 1872 for the Royal Exchange Building which opened in 1875. The building to the right is the Yorkshire District Banking Company which was founded in 1834 but moved into this newly erected building in 1836. In 1843 after it went into liquidation, banking was resumed under the new name of the Yorkshire Banking Company. In 1898 they moved into temporary premises while their head office was rebuilt on the same site. This new building is now Flares. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Park Row | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
