Description: | 1890
View of the rear of Sheepshanks House, number 42 North Street, seen from Sheepshanks Yard looking towards North Street. It was designed and built for Robert Denison, a cloth merchant, and was a fine example of a merchant's house of this period (built before 1725). It then came into possession of the Sheepshank family of woollen merchants. Here, it is in use as the works premises of Ebenezer Miller and Co Ltd, house furnishers and removal contractors. The site of Sheepshanks House eventually became that of the Ritz Cinema, opened in 1934, later to become the ABC Cinema. The building in the background, right, is Leeds Public Dispensary designed by Leeds architect, William Hill and opened in 1867. It stands on the corner of New Briggate and North Street. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds Public Dispensary Sheepshanks Yard Ritz Cinema North Street Sheepshanks House New Briggate | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=48... | Go to resource |
