Whilst the bright colours of Clarence Dock And Bridgewater Place look good I thought this moody black and white conversion suited it.

A young woman leaps from the handily painted steps in an underpass on the campus of the University of Leeds, near the Roger Stevens building. The colours in the jacket and the lines on the steps along with her posture and smile makes this one of my fave shots from Leeds.
Young woman in a bright jacket stands in front of a wall covered with street art in Leeds Hyde Park area. The colours of the graffiti and the US Flag style jacket worked well together to form a nice image.
Clarence Dock in Leeds, home to Clarence House, a 218-foot (66 m) tower consisting of 227 apartments and six retail units. Upon completion in April 2007, it became the eighth tallest building in Leeds, it has however now been pushed to being the twelfth tallest building.
I am always doing pretty rural landscapes and wanted to do more architectural stuff for a change. Clarence Dock is a really vibrant area, there are some great apartment blocks and due to the number built prices are surprisingly reasonable.

A really interesting image. Rather intriguing - anyone know why this face should be on a building in Leeds?
Bit sad seeing this in a way. Once a popular public house for Irish workmen in the 1970's, it was run in it's heyday by Harry O'Connor from Castlemaine, in County Kerry, and Kitty his wife from Westport, County Mayo, Republic of Ireland.
As well as Harry and Kitty there was Sheelagh and Mary their 2 daughters and a ruthless Jack Russell Terrier dog that knew no fear nor took no prisoners! He terrified bar staff and punters alike!
His Coup de Grace was closeting himself within the shadowy depths of Harry and Kitty's cellar. Needless to say anyone venturing down it, be they my dad/ someone from Tetley Brewery or the duke box company, were in for a nasty surprise! Harry's bar also staff had a habit of leaving stuff dropped on the floor until he had safely vacated the vicinity!
Following their departure it fell into slow decline and was eventually closed due to association with drug dealing.
A place of many childhood memories!
This former Thornton's India Rubber Company building at 50/51 Briggate, Leeds is a Category II Listed Building designed by S D Kitson in 1918 It is constructed from reinforced concrete and steel and clad in matt glazed faience by the Leed's Fireclay Company.
Thorntons started off as a waterproof and india-rubber manufacturer with ‘Ventilating Celtic Waterproofs’ and the ‘Cavalier Waterproof Cloak’ two of their early trademarks. Their advertising proclaimed their gold medal for waterproof manufacturers from the International Fisheries Exhibition in Edinburgh in 1882. Later they expanded into all sorts of sports equipment with the first mention in their advertising of ‘golf lawn tennis and croquet’ in 1899. In golf equipment, clubs from their Wonder series are probably the most commonly seen. Their head office was at 78 Princes Street in the centre of Edinburgh and manufacturing took place here also. There was further manufacturing capability in Belfast and, in 1890, they had additional branches in Leeds and Bradford and, by the following year, had added a branch in Gordon Street in Glasgow though this seems to have closed in 1905 or 1906. The Edinburgh shop, at least, kept going until the 1960s."
I liked how the curves of this pavement contrasted with the straight lines of the towers and buildings of Clarence Dock.

Cross Arcade, Leeds, 1898-1904.
King Edward Street entrance.
By Frank Matcham (1854-1920).
Grade ll* listed.
Part of the overall design by Frank Matcham for the rebuilding of part of the oldest district in the city, this being the northern section. The architect was a designer of music halls and theatres. The central dome is thought to have been inspired by the 1865 Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. The most ornate example of a characteristic form of Leeds architecture which developed from the glazing of rear yards in the early 19th century.
