Leeds Town Hall was such a statement of civic ambition that Queen Victoria travelled up personally to open it in 1858, and its clock tower still rises 68 metres over The Headrow. Charles Dickens gave one of his last-ever public readings inside — check the front steps for the stone lions that every Leeds local has an opinion on.
