Description: | 23rd August 1933.
This image, showing Victoria Square, was taken during the Royal visit of King George V and Queen Mary when they had arrived in Leeds to open the Civic Hall. The view looks west, and, in the centre the Life Guards can be seen, mounted on horse back. The Life Guards formed an escort for the Royal visitors. Behind them is the statue of Queen Victoria now to be found on Woodhouse Moor. The statue of the Duke of Wellington can be seen to the left. This statue was also relocated to Woodhouse Moor in 1937. On the left the Town Hall Restaurant is visible at number 63 Park Lane. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Victoria royal Park Lane Civic Hall Victoria Square Wellington | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
