I've wanted to try some different locations along this road for a while. Taken in a series of photos, merged together to increase the amount of traffic.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
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.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

Once loaded with coal, cloth, and cargo, narrowboats like this shaped the rhythm of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Today, the journey is quieter, but the history remains in the brickwork and waterline. It always fascinates me to watch these boats work their way along, especially when I have seen them move through the locks.
Please enjoy this piece of history in Large.
Thank you so much for your visit!
While travelling to Southport on Merseyrail.....I took this image through the Window......on the move.
With the yellow rain warnings again this weekend, I thought I would post this picture of how long the river got last weekend. Hope the flood defence will hold again this weekend
Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s 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 farmers’ 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]
Leeds Castle, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone, Kent, England, dates back to 1119. In 1278 the castle came in the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence. The castle seen today dates mostly from the 19th century and is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds. ( Wikipedia)
Leeds Playhouse is a theatre in the city centre of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1990 in the Quarry Hill area of the city as the West Yorkshire Playhouse, successor to the original Leeds Playhouse, and was rebranded in June 2018 to revert to the title Leeds Playhouse. It has two auditoria and a studio space, hosts a wide range of productions, and engages in outreach work in the local community.
Leeds Playhouse was designed by The Appleton Partnership architects of Edinburgh. The foundation stone was laid by Judi Dench in 1989, and on completion it was opened by Diana Rigg.

This is another example of Victorian architecture at its finest. Beautifully preserved and well worth a visit whether shopping or just to view the structure, this building will not disappoint.
ST RUPO rolls on down the Rumford Branch behind three GP40s as it crosses the Dead River near Leeds, Maine. The right-of-way dates back to a Portland gauge railroad chartered in 1848 to build from Farmington to what is now Leeds Junction. Maine Central acquired the railroad in 1911 and pulled the rails north of Livermore Falls in 1974. It was a fabric of a large network of Maine Central branches that served Maine's enormous timber industry, and the paper and sawmills along the Rumford Branch remain a major source of revenue for the Maine Central's sucessors.
Leeds Castle is one of the Loveliest Castle in the World.
The castle, built in 1119, has many rooms. Originally, the castle had a wall, which was razed to turn the castle into a royal residence.
