Interior view of Leeds City Station showing the buffet and refreshment rooms to the left and entrances to the platforms on the right. This part of the station was originally New Station, dating from 1869 and built as a joint station for the North-Eastern & London & North-Western Railways. The building of the New Station necessitated spanning the River Aire and the Leeds & Liverpool Canal so it was constructed on a series of arches. These became known as the "Dark Arches", latterly "Granary Wharf". By 1904, as shown on a plan from that time, it had more than doubled in size and included 11 platforms, waiting rooms, refreshment rooms for dining and tea, a ladies' cloakroom, a book stall and public lavatories. In 1937 work began on the amalgamation of New Station (City South) with Wellington Station (City North) to become City Station and construction included the north concourse, linking the two, and a new 200 bedroomed Queens Hotel. It was renamed Leeds City Station on May 2, 1938.
