Day 9



This is the Leeds Central Library. I got my library card and checked out a book, and we had a cream tea in the cafe, which is located in the gorgeously restored Victorian tiled hall.

The building is just as spectacular inside as outside, so I couldn't resist posting some more photos.





Owls on the railing outside the library.




Stained glass and carved stone inside the main entrance.




Detail of the stonework.






One of my favourite touches: the heraldic beasts on the stair railings.
