Queen's
Court: People often rush by |
|
 |
On
Briggate sits Queen's Court, a house built for wealthy wool merchants,
now often overlooked by people rushing along the busy street. |
 |
|
 |
This
gem is another building from the time when wool was a cornerstone
of Leeds' prosperity.
"This wealth is reflected in the wealthy merchants house -
Queen's Court - on Briggate.
"With
its arch and double frontage it provides an excellent example of
a large domestic house built on the merchants' prosperity.
 |
The
back entrance to the yard leading to Queen's Court |
"I
wonder how many people rushing up and down the busy street stop
to really take in the magnificent building.
"The
arch in the frontage leads to a yard now housing businesses and
bars.
"Another
reminder of the maze of yards that ran off Briggate."
