Description: | 1894.
This 1894 view of Leeds Town Hall shows the area around to be much different from how it is today. The Municipal Buildings, just to the right of the Town Hall, are still there, but other buildings on the right (the offices of Calverley Chambers and the Victoria Buildings) have since been demolished to make way for Victoria Gardens. The area in front of the Town Hall, known as Victoria Square and featuring a fountain and a statue of Wellington, has also disappeared, making space for a car park. The view is looking from Park Lane, as the road in front of the Town Hall was known then, with Oxford Place on the left and Calverley Street on the right of the Town Hall. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Calverley Street Leeds Town Hall Victoria Square Oxford Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
