Description
Victoria Buildings is a corner shop and office building located on Moor Road in Far Headingley, dating from 1841. It is constructed from coursed squared dressed gritstone and features a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has two windows on the front, with an angled corner bay. The central entrance is a six-panel door topped by a four-pane overlight, and there are 16-pane sash windows to the right on the ground floor and first floor. To the left, there is a square four-pane shop window, and low six-pane sashes are present on the second floor. The building has eight flue stacks that straddle the ridge, with the right stack being corniced.
On the left side, facing Weetwood Lane, the splayed angle includes a shop door on the ground floor and a blind window above, which has the inscription 'VICTORIA BUILDINGS/ 1841' on the lintel. This side also features three sashes with glazing bars and a gable above. At the rear, facing Rawling Place, there are two fielded-panel doors with overlights and additional sashes with glazing bars.
The interior has not been inspected. The development of small plots on Headingley Moor began in 1831, and this building occupies an important corner site, likely constructed to serve as both a shop and houses.
