View of Leeds Civic Hall from the courtyard at the rear. One of the two towers can be seen with its gilded bronze owl on the top; another owl is visible above the rear door. The Civic Hall was designed by E. Vincent Harris and cost approximately ?360,000 to build and furnish. A grant was received from the Unemployed Grants Committee in return for using a large proportion of unemployed people in the workforce. The building was completed within 3 years and opened on Wednesday 23rd August 1933 by their majesties King George V and Queen Mary. The photo probably dates from around that time. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Civic Hall courtyard | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
