This is now a Wetherspoon pub, opened in 2021. It was originally a Christian Science church built in 1912, architect William Peel Schofield. It is rather more ornate than their usual 'reading rooms'. Later it became the Elinor Lupton Centre (theatre) of Leeds Girls' High School, but some years ago they joined with the boys' grammar school and moved out of the city. By 2015 Image it was becoming derelict, so the new use is welcome. The pub is named after a famous painting by a local artist. Listed grade II (list entry 1255938); the listing has been updated to reflect its current use.
