caption_attribution_description: English: Sovereign Square, Swinegate, Leeds, West Yorkshire. This site was the site of Queen's Hall (a former tramshed known for its use for concerts). This was demolished in 1989 and the site was a vacant plot. In the 2000s a Skyscraper taller than Bridgewater Place called Criterion Place was proposed for this site. The financial crash poured cold water on those plans. This more modest building was built around 2016-17. Taken on the afternoon of Thursday the 8th of February 2018.
