This photograph, taken by G.B. Wood in 1941, showcases an interior detail of the historic Leeds Corn Exchange in Duncan Street. The image offers a breathtaking view of the ornate, iron-framed dome, which reaches a height of 75 feet above the floor. Erected between 1861 and 1863, this architectural marvel was designed by the renowned architect Cuthbert Brodrick at a cost of £15,000. The clock, a prominent feature of the dome, adds to the Victorian charm of the building. The intricate design of the dome's ironwork, with its delicate patterns and curves, is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its creation. The Corn Exchange has long been a symbol of Leeds' rich architectural heritage, and this photograph offers a glimpse into its grandeur and beauty. The passage of time is evident in the worn edges of the photograph, adding to its historical significance and value. This image is a reminder of the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the enduring legacy of Cuthbert Brodrick's architectural masterpiece.
