For 'HAR 2019'. Photographer's note: 'The Conservation Area will be an addition to the HAR Register in 2019. At the northern extremity of one of Leeds' main shopping streets, it has suffered from unauthorised works to shopfronts, upper floor vacancy and been blighted by being a de facto mini-transport interchange. The extent of disrepair, inappropriate change, vacancy, underuse, and loss of architectural detail is having a negative impact on the area putting it at risk. A recent survey showed only 17% of buildings to be in a good condition, inappropriate change affects 81% of properties, and vacancy affects 31%.'
