More about this scene
A view of Leeds Mechanics' Institute. This imposing Italianate building, with its lofty round-arched windows, was built by Cuthbert Brodrick in the late 1860s. It later became the Civic Theatre. In June 1840, Thomas Cook arranged a members' excursion to York by way of the Leeds & Selby and the York & North Midlands Railways. The trip was priced at half the normal fare and included tea at York. There were 570 passengers.
