I never realised that the Bank House balcony was the remainder of the elevated walkway plan! Tremendous :D

My late husband used to work in Park Place in the 1980s and used the Bank of England quite regularly. They had a Banking hall on the first floor just like any other bank although the interior was beautifully appointed. One big advantage was that so few people realised it was there that you never had to queue to cash a cheque. Very handy when on a short lunch break. It also had the slight advantage of taking one day longer to clear from his account than if he'd gone to his own bank in Park Row. Useful on the day before pay day 😄

Love your videos. One thing about the Hotel de Ville though. Mary Ann Roulstone ran the Parade restaurant with Florence Mudd on East Parade. In 1906 she married Henry Hebden and once the partnership with Florence ended she moved to the Hotel de Ville. She ran the restaurant there and probably kept her name due to her reputation. It looks like she changed to her married name for business use in 1913 but the directory lists Miss Roulstone and Mrs. Hebden as separate people where they are really one and the same. Hope to see more videos soon.

Thanks Mike, that makes sense. Thank you for adding that. I thought it was a weird coincidence that they shared the same first and middle names.

Really enjoying your channel 😀. Me and a friend stumbled onto shadwell Hall when out walking, which got us onto John Barron, textile industrialist , a fascinating part of leeds history and one of his magnificent buildings still survives in leeds city centre,not far from where swimming baths use to be,would be ideal material for your channel 👌 👍

I worked at the Head Post Office 68/69, the wooden building at 3.58 was called the Hutments it was said that it had been a social club for postman and was originally built as an army recruitment hall in the first war {though not necessarily on this site} . Atlas House at 8.30 was referred to as Quebec Chambers and was used in part as offices by the Post Office much of the internal walls, floors and staircases were made from wood. A lot of the wiring was still lead covered what a fire hazard.

The third and fourth floors of Bank House were occupied by HM Customs &Excise VAT office in the 1970’s. I worked there at that time.

@@papalegba6796 agreed, and I’m in that boat myself. However I think it could really devastate city centres if it continues. Many offices are on long term leases, and they’re not going to get renewed, so this situation could get much worse.

Numbers 5 and 7 king Street. Now there's like a moat dug out around number 7 but In the old photos there's not. Why would they dig around the building. And why did they put large windows in at basement level?
@GeogJuice
@GeogJuice Жыл бұрын
Hi Nathaniel, many of the older buildings have extensive cellars where things such as coal were stored. Number 7 had small windows at street level to let a little light in in the older photos. in later years they have dug down so that larger windows could be added to increase day light, possibly because they were using the cellars as office space.

They must still have big cash transfers at Bank House as you regularly see armed police outside.

As I understand it the vaults are still operated by the Bank of England . They store the cash supplies for most of the banks in this region.

All the buildings now in Leeds need care, refurbishment, repairs, tlc and to many to let signs. Everything going downhill, brutal architecture, flat pack construction and pc (political correction).
