Victoria Bridge, Leeds in Yorkshire

Victoria Bridge Leeds

This photograph shows a view of the Victoria Bridge a handsome yellow stone bridge completed in 1839.

Named after the young Queen of England who had been monarch for 2 years when this fine bridge was opened. The name Victoria is inside a floral wreath on the keystone in the middle of the arch.

Victoria Bridge carries a road and footpaths over the river Aire adjacent to Granary Wharf and is close to Bridgewater Place, Leeds, the tallest building in Yorkshire.

Hi Paul, thanks for the welcome back! Love this shot of the bridge - I assume you must have been looking out of a window somewhere, and not flying over it!

It's quite beautiful and I really like the angle you shot it from!
