Geocache Description:

Another one for the Listed Leeds series

The Bourse was originally know as the Victoria Buildings. 

 


 It dates from around 1872 and stands on the corner of Boar Lane and New Station Street. It was designed to blend in with the new station entrance build around that time. When the building opened it housed a variety of businesses; shirt makers, mantle warehouse, solicitors, tobacco factory etc. After years of decline the building was refurbished in 1994 at a cost of about £10 million. The facades were saved and restored, behind them the designers created 35,000 sqft of office space. Also included in the rebuild was a multi story car park for 650 cars. The mirror frontage is one of the most impressive entrances in Leeds  and is well worth a visit. The Bourse is in one of the busiest places in Leeds, being close to the new shopping centre; there are several pubs, bars and cafes close by.

The gz is over looked by a cafe serving underground food.

The area is busy at all times so care will be need attemping this cache.

The cache contains logbook only.
