Old But Funky

Leeds, England

Er, the building, that is! This is the Corn Exchange in Leeds. An amazing circular Victorian
building that was designed with a glass roof to enable the grain traders to have natural light
to assess the colour of the grain. It was derelict until 1990 and is about to have a major
facelift. Sadly the red doors and silver metalwork will disappear!

I'm pleased I got there just in time!

The roof:

Lovely photo. The ironwork on this building MAKE the building. Wish I could get my hands on the discarded pieces.
