CHRISTMAS-VICTORIANA…
#abfav_december
Taken at the beautiful Victoria Quarter in Leeds.
Not only are the different Arcades ornately decorated in their architecture, but, since all the posh shops are mostly there, they have wonderful Christmas decorations every year, it's a sparkling world.
Victoria Quarter was originally designed by architect Frank Matcham. He used rich marbles, gilded mosaics, handsome cast and wrought iron, as well as carved and polished mahogany, to create two streets, two arcades and the Empire Theatre (now Harvey Nichols).
Today Matcham's work has been sympathetically restored to its original splendour, introducing the style and creativity of the present.
The Victoria Quarter is often described as one of the UK's most beautiful shopping centres - and quite rightly so.

Wishing you a sparkling day, thank you for viewing, Magda, (*_*)
