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)

Taken a few hours before Leeds United's return to the Premier League was confirmed and crowds of thousands descended on the area.
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.
Last year I had few short trips around England and never posted any photos. This one is from early summer 2024. I'm too lazy these days to plan anything or prepare for a trip, I just jump in my car and drive and once I'm at my destination I just walk randomly wherever my legs take me. And take photos of whatever catches my eye. Like this mural...
Northern Class 150 Sprinter DMU 150005 passes through the platforms of the disused Brightside station working service 2N08 09.48 Leeds to Sheffield local stopping service.
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.

Victoria Gate is a new shopping centre in Leeds which features high end shops and a large John Lewis store. I didn't take my tripod so this was shot hand held with the fantastic 15-30 Tamron lens with image stabilisation.

** 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.

The first historical record of a building at this site is listed in the Domesday book of 1086, where the ‘Manor of Esledes’ was owned by Odo the Bishop of Bayeux
