Description

The West Riding Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the early 19th century and was converted in the 20th century. The building is rendered and lined with a slate roof. It stands three storeys over a basement on a corner site, featuring two bays on the front and a nine-window facade on the left side facing Little King Street. The entrance door, located on the right, has an overlight and plain jambs, with a projecting moulded cornice that continues around the building at the first-floor level. There is a square bay window on the left. The first and second floors have paired windows on the left and a single window on the right, all set within moulded architraves. The eaves cornice is deep and moulded.

On the left side, there are round-arched doorways to the left and right, with ground and first-floor windows in architraves similar to the front. The moulded gable end of the pitched roof is visible on the right side, along with the deep moulded eaves cornice. The interior was replanned and refitted in the late 20th century. This building is part of a group of two or three houses built after 1809, originally known as Eye Bright Place. In 1817, the row was extended as Wellington Street, which became a new turnpike road. By 1870, the range stretching back from the street included the West Riding Hotel, Springfield House Hotel, and a boot dealer, as noted in the Directory of Leeds from that year.
