The Leeds Library - A Quiet Corner

The Leeds Library Chair

I was looking through the photographs that I took of the inside of The Leeds Library a few weeks back and I quite like this photo of an old windsor chair in a quiet corner surrounded by books.

Since I first looked around The Leeds Library I have paid up and become a member, working in Leeds city centre I find it really handy to have somewhere to go and read a newspaper and have a tea or coffee. Yes I could go to Starbucks but this library is a haven in the midst of the bustle of Leeds city life.

I love these old wooden windsor chairs, named after the town on the river Thames in Berkshire. We had a few when I was a boy at home and the design with a few variations is much the same since they first appeared in the 17th century.
