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]
Delicate plant I came across in a local park, so if anyone knows what it may be, please share it with the comments.
yes, I KNOW, this is waaaaaaay in advance BUT if you put it in your diary now you will be able to fight off those early christmas engagements which come up later ....
The Tiled Hall Cafe is Victorian and gorgeous - they sell mainly toasties, soups, cakes (generous servings), hot drinks, and they ARE licensed.

Buddleja (/ˈbʌdliə/; orth. var. Buddleia; also historically given as Buddlea) is a genus comprising over 140 species of flowering plants endemic to Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The generic name bestowed by Linnaeus posthumously honoured the Reverend Adam Buddle (1662–1715), an English botanist and rector, at the suggestion of Dr. William Houstoun. Houstoun sent the first plants to become known to science as buddleja (B. americana) to England from the Caribbean about 15 years after Buddle's death.
I took a wander down to this arcade and noticed this bike outside a barber's shop, so took a few shots.

In the Corn Exchange Leeds, I noticed this Arcade Machine as the knobs looked rather interesting, so took some shots.
