Cobourg Public House Leeds Metropolitan University

The Cobourg Public House and Leeds Metropolitan University, located at 19 and 20 Queen Square, are two houses built between 1810 and 1815, designed by John and George Bischoff. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a slate roof and stand two storeys tall, each featuring two bays with an entrance on the left side. Both houses have a six-panel door, with the door at No. 19 being part-glazed and currently not in use. They are adorned with fluted pilasters and console brackets that support an open pediment. The windows are fitted with plate-glass sashes in moulded flush frames, stone sills, and wedge lintels throughout. No. 19 has bracketed eaves, while No. 20 has boarded eaves. The interior has not been inspected. The square began development in 1806, with the houses on the northwest side being the first stage, followed by this second stage, which included nine smaller houses built between 1810 and 1815.
