Description: | Undated.
Interior view of the Civic Hall showing the Great Entrance Hall. This massive T-shaped room is entered through the wrought iron gates at the front of the building. It is lined with Hopton Wood stone from the Derbyshire quarry of that name. The floor is mainly laid with Gris Monchette, a type of marble from France, with borders of Hopton Wood stone and Belgian black marble. The pillars are made from scagliola, a synthetic imitation of Green
Malachite. The photo was probably taken around the time of the opening of the Civic Hall in 1933. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Entrance Hall Civic Hall | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
