Up North

Been up and down to Leeds half a dozen times in the last few months, for one reason and another.   It's an interesting place. 





And I fell in love the night before last. Look at this!  There's a ticket booth, where we bought our tickets, which I don't ever remember seeing when I was a kid.  And a gilded balcony, red velvet curtains, and an orange clock, which I do.  No usherette with a torch and a tray of tubs and choc ices, though.

  2. It opened in November 1914. There's a link here:

    And yes, it's still working, we saw 'We need to talk about Kevin' there.
