Leeds.
I don’t know a lot about this mural, but it is a regular sight on my walks around Leeds and it always makes me stop and look up, despite it being in a rather busy corner of the city between Leeds Corn Exchange and Leeds Kirkgate Market where you’re liable to get run over if you’re not too careful! As an enthusiastic head wear advocate, who is rarely seen on the streets of Leeds without a flat cap, my eyes are always drawn to the chap in the centre, stretching out his arms.

Leeds.
The photographers amongst you might be interested to know that West Yorkshire Cameras: The Proper Camera Shop is situated in the Leeds Corn Exchange [it is just to the right of the tip of the Christmas Tree, in fact].

A certain on-line encyclopaedia informs me that the Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and was designed by Hull born architect Cuthbert Brodrick. As well as designing Leeds Town Hall, The Mechanics Institute (now the Leeds City Museum) and the Grand Hotel in Scarborough, the Hull Daily Mail informs me that Brodrick also designed Wellington House in Hull, which I photographed back in 2013 [https://anticsroadshowblogspot.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/photo-archive-wellington-house-hull-c-2013/]; it has since been demolished.
