New life breathed into Chest Clinic

From tonights YEP....http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 31802.jpIt seems that the former Chest Clinic is set to become the new branch of Richer Sounds.I wonder what plans they have to fit out the inside, which from what I remember seemed to be a collection of small rooms and waiting areas.Anyone know if it is a listed building? The YEP piece refers to special architectural interest, but that is all. Seems an odd building for a hi-fi shop to be honest as I can't see it having much of a window display without major alterations.

"The Grade II property was built in 1865 close to what was then the city's main public transport station so people with breathing difficulties did not have far to walk."What is the 'main public transport station'?It's a strange choice for a location. Right on the edge of the city centre.

Red bus station on Vicar lane??

The 1847 and 1906 maps don't show anything obvious. I don't think Vicar Lane bus station was developed until the 1930s. A bus expert can no doubt put me right.

Yes they mentioned the move a while ago. As for breathing difficulties, there'll be a few folk out of breath carrying their purchases to the nearest place you can park - could be nearly as bad as when they were in the Headrow! Good shop though, always honest, up-front and helpful I've found
