Description: | circa 1965
People are seen walking along Merrion Way, formely Cobourg Street. On the left the building site for Tower House is fenced off and a crane is present. Tower House is still one of the tallest buildings in Leeds at 77 metres and 19 floors. It has recently undergone an interior refurbishment and exterior re-cladding with a change of name to Tower North Central. It is an office block. The Brunswick Methodist Church is in the background, right. This has since been demolished and Brunswick Point, a second Yorkshire Bank building, erected on the site. The entrance to the new Merrion Centre multi-storey car park is visible on the the right and there is a Regent garage with petrol pumps. The pavement sign points in the direction of the 'Bargain Hall' at the rear of the Merrion Centre. Dominating the foreground is the canopy of the 42 lane Humber bowling alley. Across the road, displayed on the fencing, are various advertising campaigns including one for the 1965 film, 'Doctor Zhivago'. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Brunswick Methodist Church Merrion Way Tower House Merrion Centre Humber bowling alley | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
