#Leeds is a city with a rich #retail #heritage, Leeds #Market has been around since 1822, Marks & Spencer were established in Leeds in 1884, and supermarket chain Asda began operation in the city in 1949. Today Leeds has been named the best #shopping destination in the U.K. by Rough Guide and has over 1,000 #shops in the #city. This week I went for a walk to explore some of the architecturally and visually rich retail sites that exist in Leeds. Here is the #concrete and #redbrick #brutalist Leeds Building Society building, which is located on the corner of The #Headrow and Albion #Street. I love the very small yet ornate #clock and #flag that adorn this structure, somehow softening its fortress facade in a very tiny way. #IgersLeeds #Yorkshire #England #architecture #building #leisure #life #travel #tourism #tourist #Leeds2023 #culture #art #history #brick
