View of a decorative column, part of Marshalls, Mills, Temple Works, Marshall Street. The office block of the mills was built between 1840 and 1843 on two storeys and was designed by architect Ignatious Bonomi the younger of Durham. His brother, Joseph Bonomi was an Egyptologist and is thought to have influenced the style. Built for Leeds flax spinner, John Marshall & Company, it pays tribute to the ancient flax industry of Egypt. The mill ceased production of flax in 1886. The huge column seen here is one of several which flank the entrance. They are decorated with a lotus capital.
