Kitchen, Temple Works, Leeds
Part of the kitchens used for preparing meals for the kays catalogue employees.
Apparently since the place closed the kitchens were slowly stripped of their appliances by theives, leaving not much left!
This is my 2nd visit to the historic Temple Works building in south Leeds, dotNorth had organised a tour and i tagged along to get some more photos of this amazing place.
Temple Works is a grade 1 listed building, externally designed to look like the egyptian temple of Edfu.
The main warehouse is *huge* - the size of 2 football pitches, and still one of the biggest rooms in europe. The design and construction of the building and the way the roof is suspended was one of the engineering feats of the industrial revolution, and only now is being fully appreciated and the techniques starting to be reused in modern architecture.
Originally the mill was used for the production of Linen, and built for John Marshall, more recently it was used by Kays Catalogue company, before being abandoned a number of years ago and left to decay.
Good news tho - the building is currently being repaired and rennovated, and set to become a cultural and arts space for theatre and the arts - cant wait to see what it's like when its finished (even tho it's beautiful in it's current decayed state!)
All the photos from this second visit are taken with a fish-eye lens, i wanted to go for different shots to the last visit, and luckily managed to see more of the decayed former kays catalogue offices that last time (tho i'd love the chance to spend a couple of hours on this rather than grabbing shots on a quick tour - hard work trying to get shots without people in view, especially with a fish-eye lens!)
Karl vs The Broken Fridge
Although it seemed like a simple solution, the refrigerator, who clearly had the upper hand in the matter, couldn't help but laugh at Karl. His foolish thoughts; thoughts of quick and easy appliance repair... the refrigerator laughed again.
