Description: | c1933.
Interior view of Leeds Civic Hall taken around the time of its opening in 1933, showing the Assembly Hall, also known as the Banqueting Hall. This is accessed through three doors from the Reception Hall, two of which are seen on the right, while on the left are windows which look out onto the front of the Civic Hall. The 30 metre by 12 metre room is panelled in limed English oak and has galleries at either end; the one seen here is the Musician's Gallery while at the opposite end is the Lady Mayoress' gallery accessible from her private suite. The oak floor is sprung for dancing but at other times is covered by a carpet; as well as for official banquets and receptions the hall is used for public meetings and occasionally musical recitals. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Assembly Hall Civic Hall Banqueting Hall | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
