More about this scene
The architect of the Town Hall, Cuthbert Brodrick, was also responsible for other buildings, including the Corn Exchange (1860), the Mechanics' Institute (1860), the Oriental Baths (1866) and shops on Cookridge Street (1864). At the time of the opening of the Leeds Town Hall in 1858, an arch commemorating Queen Victoria's visit was erected in north Leeds. It was renovated in 1984 and still stands, but it is well-hidden in woodland at Beckett's Park in Headingley. The Calverley office building behind the fountain was demolished for the widening of the Headrow in 1933.
