Beckett's Bank

Built on the site of a wholesale wool warehouse and factory, this imposing building was a bank for very many years. It was a fine addition to Leeds’ leading business street. The pub takes its name from Beckett’s Bank, an impressive building further along Park Row, at the corner of Bond Street. It was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1867. Established in 1758, it was Leeds’ first bank and was later controlled by Sir John Beckett.
