View of a newly planted Westgate Roundabout, the centre piece of a new road scheme to link the Headrow with West Street. The traffic island measures 200 feet in diameter, over 60 metres. Leeds City Parks Department were responsible for the planting using a combination of grass lawns, trees and shrubs. These were specially chosen to survive the harsh environment of fumes caused by heavy traffic. Westgate is off to the top, left hand corner and the Leeds Arms is visible standing at the junction of Westgate and Fountain Street. Coming off the roundabout, right, is Caroline Street which joins Park Lane. Just right of centre is Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | West Street Headrow Westgate Park Lane Fountain Street Caroline Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
