Description: | 5th October 1999.
View taken from the roof of Leeds Central Library. Shows, from left, the roof of the Municipal Buildings looking onto the stone back and brick side of the Electric Press Printing Works. Behind this is the partially hidden semi grey extension and the original 'Leonardo Building' with its square angled tower in red brick and a tiered treatment with elaborate details. The 1998 extension with circular top floor board room and balcony were added to increase floor space and are used by Leeds City Council. The building covered in scaffolding is the Thoresby Building, part of the former City of Leeds School. The Central High School building is at the rear. Thoresby High School for girls merged with Leeds Central High School for boys in 1972 to become the City of Leeds School. From about 1975 the Leonardo building was also part of the City of Leeds School. Just seen on the right is the tower of St. Anne's Cathedral. Below this is an 1847 cloth trade warehouse now occupied by bars and shops. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Thoresby Building Municipal Buildings Electric Press Printing Works City of Leeds School Leeds Central High School St. Anne's Cathedral Leonardo Building Great George Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
