17-19 Wellington Street, Leeds
A pair of Victorian warehouses in a similar vein. The details are based on Venetian Gothic, most conspicuously in the entrances and top floor windows. Both by George Corson, 1859. Grade II listed.
Two of several C19th warehouse survivals in the street. Number 17 (Churchill House), on the left, was built for Thomas Pawson, a woollen manufacturer; number 19 for John Sykes & Son.

Cycle facilities on Wellington Street
This is a two-way segregated cycle lane, that at this point splits with westbound cycle traffic expected to use the tiger crossing to reach the lane on the other side. It won't be in full use until the redevelopment of the Majestic building is completed.

Wellington Street cycle lane finally open
This bidirectional cycle lane, allowing contraflow movement into City Square on what is otherwise a one-way section of the street, was installed in 2019 as part of the City Connect project. But successive scaffolding contracts on the Majestic building, then the WYCA building, blocked it
Image and it only became fully usable in November 2021.

21-23 Wellington Street
Clothing factory and warehouse, built 1877-1900 for R B Brown & Sons, an early example in the UK of a steel framed building. When the adjacent building to the right burnt down in 1906, the building was undamaged. Listed Grade II under 40-41 Aire Street, which is the opposite end of the building. Now converted to offices.

It was a misty morning in the centre of Leeds.
Education has always been important in Yorkshire, and this is a University town, so the manuscript correction on the sign comes as no surprise.
Fellow Geographist Gerald England asks "might there have been a grocer's apostrophe on the other sign originally?"
