Description: | c March 1982.
Image shows the demolition site at the corner of Boar Lane, background, left, and Briggate, which had been occupied by the 1960s Saxone building. The junction had been know locally for many years as 'Saxone's Corner'. A new building was shortly to be erected in its place and the design of this was to be based on the original 19th century building which had occupied the site until the 1960s. Saxon's shoe shop had moved into the original building c1908 and before this it had been a shop selling mantles. This replica of the 19th century building is nowadays occupied by MacDonalds. The demolition of the 1960s building has exposed a view of Holy Trinity Church and the C & A store to the west of the church. The store dates from the 1970s and has since been demolished to build the Trinity Centre, lated remodelled as Leeds Shopping Plaza. A new scheme, Trinity Leeds is due to be completed in 2013 combining Leeds Shopping Plaza and the old Burton's Arcade. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Briggate C & A Saxone's Corner Trinity Leeds Trinity Church Leeds Shopping Plaza Trinity Centre Burton's Arcade Boar Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
