The Queens Hotel: porte cochere
The Queens Hotel: porte cochere
The Queens Hotel, Leeds was built in 1937 and is listed grade 2 (list entry 1375020). It includes this "porte cochere" (as the list descriptions describes it) that spans the station carriage drive, supported on five large fluted stone columns with the coats of arms of the cities served by the [LMS] railway company carved in relief. Ironically given the original function (the collection and dropping off of hotel guests under cover) there is now a "no loading" restriction on the road, as seen in this view from the top deck of a bus about to leave the station.
