Description: | Undated,
This is a very early view of the Corn Exchange which preceded the one designed by Brodrick. It was situated north of the junction with Briggate and built by Samuel Chapman at a cost of ?12,500 in 1828. As well as facilities for the sale of corn, it boasted four shops, an inn, a hotel and warehouses for the corn merchants. When the moot hall was demolished in 1825, the statue of Queen Anne was transferred to the new Corn Exchange. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Briggate Headrow | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
