150 years old today!150 years ago this very day, Queen Victoria officially opened the building of which we should all be proud. Probably the finest example of neo-classical civic architecture in the world. Raise a glass to Cuthbert Brodrick & Leeds Town Hall today!

Hi Munki - I'm told by the author that the book you have mentioned,'Around Leeds: a City Centre Reinvented', isn't available from main-stream outlets but can be obtained from reception in th LU School of Geography and the City Station Visitor Centre. It should also be obtainable from Borders in a couple of weeks.Aren't you going to get rather fit it's you doing multiple visits up the clock tower? (Or maybe, fit to drop!).
