Description: | 1956.
View of Wellington Chambers, City Square. It stands between Aire Street, left, and Wellington Street, right. On the corner is Barstow's, a really well-known Gents Hairdresser's which occupied the building from 1910 until 1980. Wellington Chambers was demolished to build the red brick, six storey City House which opened in 1983. This building was also demolished after developers McAleer & Rush acquired the site in 2005. A fourteen storey landmark office building, also to be called City
Square House has been designed for the site. Construction was to have commenced in 2007 and completed in 2010. Due to the recession the scheme has been mothballed for the forseeable future and the site is to be converted to a short-term car park (July 2010.) | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | City Square Wellington Chambers Aire Street Wellington Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
