Description: | circa 1966
View looks across to Woodhouse Lane from the storey of the Merrion Centre car park. Merrion Centre was the ambitious project of the successful Leeds based property company, Town Centre Securities Ltd., led by Arnold Ziff. It was to cover 9 acres between Merrion Street, Wade Lane, Woodhouse Lane and Colbourg Street (to become Merrion Way). In the distance there is the faint silhouette of the University's Parkinson building, and then the spirse of Emmanual, Trinity and Blenheim Baptist Church. In the middle ground, the tall building on the left is Leeds Polytechnic, the central property is number 83 Woodhouse Lane, Norman Walker, Radio & Television Dealer & Engineer and to the right of it is the Cobourg tavern at the junction of Woodhouse Lane with Claypit Lane. Queen Square is at the right edge. County Garage in the foreground is between St. Columbia Street, left and Merrion Way on the right. Merrion Way used to be Colbourg Street before the area was developed. County Garage was demolished to make way for Morrison's Superstore, part of the Merrion Centre Complex and Merrion House. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St. Columbia Street Claypit Lane Merrion Way church Cobourg Street Merrion Centre Woodhouse Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
