There are so many threads about the Leeds Market I just plucked this one from the search results. I just noticed that the middle half of Leeds Market was in the open in the 1940's.

It looks like work is in progress adding the roof at the time these photos were taken.

That must have been our open air market because it didn't exist as we know it.

Some of the stalls in the blocks still have the old exterior shutters tucked away behind the facade.

With my rubbish (being polite! ) knowledge of Leeds I am probably wrong but it does look to be the old layout at the bus station to the top. Oh, and the block to the top left may (tentatively, perhaps, might possibly) be the toilet block that had a curving entry/exit corridor to at least the gents.

This is a similar area of the market with smaller apex roofs joining a bigger roof construction. This is early 1970's before the fire.
