| Fleet Street as seen from the Rotunda looking towards Vicar Lane (City Centre) |
| Undated.
Old postcard from a series called 'Old Leeds' showing Fleet Street as seen from the Rotunda, looking towards Vicar Lane. The Rotunda was an octagonal building used for marketing fruit, vegetables, flowers and fish. This area, including Fleet Stret, Cheapside, The Shambles and Bazaar, ran between Vicar lane and Briggate and was completed in 1826. It was where all the butchers' shops, tripe dressers etc. were located. At the left edge a gas lamp with lettering reads 'Shades Spirit Vaults'. Shades Inn stood at the corner of Fleet Street with Leadenhall Street at number 21 Fleet Street, according to a directory of 1899, and was run at this time by William Sadler. A group of people can be seen outside one of the butcher's shops. An earlier directory of 1888 lists the Shades Inn as numbers 19-20.
