Description: | 19th October 1989.
Image shows Queen Victoria Street, sheeted up on both sides and with scaffolding in place for the erection of the steel framed glazed roof. The glass roof was to have a stained glass lining designed by architectural artist Brian Clarke on a very large scale of 747 square metres. He described it as an 'unending floor of liquid colour'. Here we see the roof structure just starting to go in. Beneath the canopy there is a view to Vicar Lane and the sign for March the tailor is visible at number 64 Vicar Lane. The work was part of the innovative scheme for the Victoria Quarter which involved refurbishment and renovation of the original buildings, shop fronts and arcades as well as incorporating modern craftsmanship like this. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Victoria Quarter Queen Victoria Street Vicar Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
