Description: | c1990.
View showing the interior of the Corn Exchange, taken around 1990 not long after the re-opening of the building following a major refurbishment. It is now a modern shopping area with individual speciality shops located around the balcony, including Barkin Records on the left here. The picture is dominated by a replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer. This was the first powered aircraft to fly with a pilot on board. This replica was built in 1963 by the RAF Finningley Vintage Aircraft Group. It was displayed in the Corn Exchange from 1991 - 1999. It was acquired by the Yorkshire Air Museum in October 1999. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | plane Corn Exchange | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
