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)

In 1850, Leeds Borough Council decided to build a new town hall intended to represent Leeds' emergence as an important industrial centre during the Industrial Revolution and symbolize civic pride and confidence.
The architect was Cuthbert Brodrick, an unknown architect from Kingston upon Hull who had trained in Paris. In March 1941, the town hall suffered significant bomb damage to its roof and walls. It is one of the largest town halls in the United Kingdom and as of is one of the tallest building in Leeds at 225 feet. It was opened by Queen Victoria, highlighting its status as an important civic structure. It is a Grade I listed building.
Leeds Railway Station. Under the vast footprint of Leeds Railway Station lies a network of vaults. In 1869 the London North Western and North Eastern railways jointly opened Leeds New Station. Thomas Prosser, the North Eastern Railway’s architect designed the station building and train shed, Thomas E Harrison as Consulting Engineer for the Joint Station Committee was responsible for the arches which supported the New Station, and which support the current station built in 1938. The vaults created a series of tunnels, running parallel between the River Aire and the basin of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. From Victorian times they have been locally known as "The Dark Arches"

Almost brand new GEC-built class 91 No.91002 departing from Leeds for London King's Cross on 29th May 1989, running 'blunt end' first, hauling a 'surrogate' HST 43067 acting as a DVT. The first ten Class 91s were delivered in 1988, before the Mk4 coaches and associated DVT's became available, so eight HST power cars were converted to act as 'surrogate' DVT's and equipped with TDM, conventional buffers and draw-gear. Problems were not unknown with the TDM system, which resulted in the 91 having to run round and haul the set, as on this occasion.

The Victoria Quarter is situated in Leeds city centre and is the most prestigious shopping centre within the North of England. It includes occupiers such as Louis Vuitton, Gieves & Hawkes, East, Vivienne Westwood, Karen Millen, Paul Smith and a Harvey Nicholls Department Store. Think this lady is counting her pennies to see what she can buy.

** update ** i've retaken this recently with a more modern camera!
A view across south Leeds towards Elland Road and the annual Valentines Fair, its early evening, rush hour traffic is building on the M621 and the Fair is getting into full swing. All no doubt observed by the passengers on the 16:45 to London as it accelerates away from the Leeds suburbs.
The loco looks to be 91121 with the Rainbow Celebrating Diversity markings pushing the 1A41 16:45 LNER Leeds - London Kings Cross out of Leeds.
