Postcard showing an aerial photograph of the Town Hall and Civic Hall on the day of the opening of the Civic Hall by King George V and Queen Mary. Vast crowds of people are seen lining the streets to watch the Royal procession go past. The white Portland stone Civic Hall stands out at the back while the Town Hall, in the foreground to the left, is decorated for the occasion. Decorations are also seen along Calverley Street which runs up the centre of the photo. The positioning of the crowds indicates the route the procession will take, coming in from the right along the newly widened Headrow, passing the Municipal Buildings then turning up Calverley Street to the Civic Hall. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | The Headrow Municipal Buildings Calverley Street Civic Hall Royal Visit Town Hall decorations aerial view | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
