But the corner of The Headrow and Cookridge Street IS the old Leeds Perm and next to that is surely St Anne's Cathedral. Is this really where you mean?

chameleon I take it all back I was thinking of the rear to the municipal building on further search this is not the location.On the illustration there is a building that looks like a chapel to right of the Chimney. There is also an high wall (or could that be a rail way track) running behind the building and in front of the chimney which may suggest the building is near a railway. I would now have a guess the building is near the old central station

The old Queens does have some strikingly similar features to this drawing, though clearly diluted from the detail we see. Did not the old Queens have a frontage over three sides, perhaps hiding an entrance on a corner?'I think it is the original queens, perhaps an architect's illustration (the final building undergoing some changes). The topography fits with the slope down to the left - perhaps the new Queens was set back or the road narrowed to create the current station access' said jf and - munki wrote: People are straying CLOSE TO the truth, here (particularly the first bit of the last comment by jf), but not quite thinking laterally enough to get it! Close to the truth - not quite describing their thoughts correctly, or think laterally, analogous to the suggestions made or a building close (litterally, laterally) by to the Queens?Muuuuuunkiiiiii............ !
