Description: | 19th October 1989.
Image shows a partially renovated shop at numbers 17-19 King Edward Street with the entrance to the Cross Arcade at the left edge. The renovations were part of the scheme for the new shopping centre, the Victoria Quarter. Conservation architects, Lathams, were chosen to design the scheme based on the late Victorian/early Edwardian architecture of Frank Matcham for the Leeds Estates Company. The work involved sympathetic restoration and reconstruction but also included some innovative modern design features such as the stained glass roof covering Queen Victoria Street. This shop is now occupied by Paul Smith. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Victoria Quarter Matcham King Edward Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
