This gem is another building from the time when wool was a cornerstone of Leeds' prosperity.

"This wealth is reflected in the wealthy merchants house - Queen's Court - on Briggate.

"With its arch and double frontage it provides an excellent example of a large domestic house built on the merchants' prosperity.

"I wonder how many people rushing up and down the busy street stop to really take in the magnificent building.

"The arch in the frontage leads to a yard now housing businesses and bars.

"Another reminder of the maze of yards that ran off Briggate."
