A little piece of family history I'm incredibly proud of.
Many people in Leeds will know the name George Corson as one of the city's greatest Victorian architects. What many don't know is that he was my great great grandad.
His work helped shape the Leeds we know today, including: 🏛️ Leeds Grand Theatre 📚 Leeds Central Library 🌳 The layout of Roundhay Park ⚰️ Lawnswood Cemetery
More than 100 years later, his buildings are still standing and being enjoyed by thousands of people every day.
As someone who works in construction myself, it's inspiring to think that craftsmanship and creating something built to last has been part of our family's story for generations.
The question is. Can any of you see the resemblance of the 4 generations after him.
A legacy to be proud of.
