It's had a huge refurbishment.
A historic Leeds building, which has undergone a multi-million-pound refurbishment played a starring role in one of the very oldest pieces of film in the world.
The grainy black-and-white film, showing people and carriages crossing Leeds Bridge, has achieved legendary status as the first moving picture sequence using a single lens camera and a strip of paper. However, his achievements were not widely recognised because shortly before a scheduled public performance of his technology, he went missing with no clues as to his whereabouts.
"By appearing in one of the oldest surviving pieces of film in existence, One Sovereign Quay has truly cemented itself in history. Louis Le Prince filmed Leeds Bridge and the surrounding buildings during the heady late-Victorian years of industrial growth and commerce and it's only right that the building is now re-imagined to reflect Leeds' continuing regeneration and its need to evolve for contemporary life and work.
