The picture is slightly distorted, because I have stitched together 2 pictures. It would need a very wide angle lens to picture it properly.

The former Leeds Assembly Rooms
The building, also known as Waterloo House, is listed grade 2* (list entry 1375290) where it is described as the "north-east range of [a] cloth hall with assembly rooms over, now shopping arcade". It opened in 1777, altered c1865 and c1920. Some of the shopping units are now closed and boarded up. This long side facing Assembly Street was once even longer, having been shortened with the construction of the railway viaduct (from under which the photo was taken). See Image for a blue plaque giving more of its history.
The shopping centre roof in the foreground is equally worthy of note. Constructed of 1,903 panes of heat-strengthened glass, it won construction industry design awards.
