Description: | 1908.
View of Boar Lane from City Square. The large building dominating the left hand side is Royal Exchange Chambers on Boar Lane. Several businesses were housed here including at number 9, the district goods managers office and the district superintendent's office of the Midland Railway; at 23, the Blickensderfer Co. Ltd, typewriter manufacturers, and at 37 & 38 the Canada Life Assurance Co. The Yorkshire Banking Company Building built in 1899 is seen at the right edge. It was taken over by the London City and Midland Bank only two years after opening. One of the figure lamps representing Morn and Eve occupies the foreground, right. The four pairs of lamps were the work of Alfred Drury in 1903, who took his inspiration from the lamp standards around the Paris Opera House. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | City Square Boar Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
