Where is this in Leeds?

This is one of those features that may be passed by often but just not spotted. Apart from knowing where it is I am however unsure what it is. It may be a strange chimney but I suspect it is just ornamental. The photo was taken on January 6 2012.

I've now edited it to the correct 2012.

This photo (taken on January 7 2012 when I wanted to check something when I was back in the centre of Leeds) shows the street sign that the building with the feature is partly at on the short bit of road that runs off New Briggate. I like that 'street sign'.

The hotel was the Parker Hotel, It was a renowned coffee house and temperance hotel. It was known as a radicals' meeting place, and nicknamed 'The Devil's Kitchen' because of the regular Saturday night debates there on religion and politics. I've No idea what the chimney design was for other than decorative.
