I spent a lot of mornings and evenings to get one of this images. Although not satisfied with the cropping I had to do, but at least the image came out fine. Yeah, I know I always complain, but man, so much time spent to get a green background. Fortunately they faced in the direction of the camera.
It was a rather brief meeting with some short and sharp exchanges of opinions.

Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building which was completed in 1863. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect. It is a Grade 1 listed building. In the late 1980's it was converted into a retail facility. After further restoration the Corn Exchange contains a number of independent retailers and food outlets. It is described as one of only three remaining Corn Exchanges still functioning as a centre for trade in Britain although not as a Corn Exchange. (1563)

A Grade 1 listed building opened in 1863 that has housed corn traders, animal shows, night clubs and shops. The exchange doubled as a leather market from 1903 and also hosted animal shows, but its main purpose was as a corn market. Every Tuesday corn traders would gather to buy and sell their wares.
Due to the decline in agriculture the building was gradually converted into a shopping centre. An opening was cut into the trading floor and new stairs were installed to allow visitors easy access to the basement and the balcony. The corn traders continued to trade at the Corn Exchange until 1994.

Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the cityās oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmersā market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]
With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".

Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
