This fine statue stands proud on the Leeds skyline on the roof of a building that was the Yorkshire Banking Company, that company was taken over by the company that became the Midland Bank of which this became a branch. The Yorkshire Banking Company building was built on Boar Lane, Leeds in 1899.
Today the former bank is now a bar and rather down at heel, at least on the outside. But way up on the roof this nice statue looks out over Leeds and is probably missed by many people on the ground. As you exit Leeds train station by the main entrance if you look up and around you get quite a nice view of him.
Here is a view from Leeds train station the green domed building in the photo is where he stands looking out across a very changed city since he was first placed there.
