Description: | c1909.
View shows the front of Leeds (Kirkgate) Market facing onto Vicar Lane (left) and Kirkgate (right). This indooor market was designed by John and Joseph Leeming of Halifax and opened on 1st July 1904. There had been a market on the site since 1826, with the first covered market being opened in 1857. It had undergone various alterations and extensions in the years following, but by the early 20th century a new market building was needed and the Leeming brothers won a competition to design it. This view is from a postcard with a postdate of 12th September 1909. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Vicar Lane Kirkgate Kirkgate Market | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
