Victoria Arch

I had to go out to Sainsbury's today, but I decided first to take a walk through Beckett Park and see the Victoria Arch.

Built by William Beckett in 1858 when Queen Victoria came to Leeds to commemorate the opening of the town hall. Beckett built the arch in an attempt to have the Queen visit his estate and stay over during her visit. He was let down though as Victoria never even came to his estate at all.
