John Dyson, Time Ball Buildings, Briggate, Leeds

John Dyson Time Ball Buildings Briggate Leeds

When John Dyson created Time Ball Buildings in Briggate, Leeds in around 1865 I think I am safe in saying the cost was not high on his list of priorities.  Once seen this building is not easily forgotten, I recall seeing Lucinda Lambton enthusing on TV about Dysons some years back. Inside it is simply wonderful, it is now a restaurant Georgetown at the Dysons Clock Building The staff were kind and let me stroll around their nice interior.  I cannot comment on the food, but I think for a memorable meal this has got to be a must.

There is another photograph of the Dyson time ball builing.
