The Grade II Listed Queens Arcade in Leeds West Yorkshire.

 

It was the second shopping arcade to open in Leeds. Built in 1888 on the site of the former Rose and Crown Yard, the arcade was named in honour of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. London architect and arcade expert Edward Clark injected Victorian splendour into his designs, which was originally home to a hotel. The arcade was refurbished in 1993, but still retains many of its original features. There is a fretted glass ceiling, iron arches and charming balconies snaking the length of the arcade.
