View down Eastgate to Quarry House the ?55 million headquarters of the Department of Health which opened in 1993. The Health Service Management Executive re-located here from London. In the foreground is one of the designs for the Christmas lights which are switched on in early November in the Victoria Gardens. The lights are uniquely designed, (eg, the champagne bottle seen here) and are fixed to lamp posts and suspended from overhead wires. Some of the Christmas lights offer advertising space for displaying the logo of various companies. Leeds Lights was established by the council in 1983 and they are now the largest Christmas illuminations in the country with the switch on attracting over 40,000 people.
