Picture of an old crane at Granary Wharf in the city of Leeds, Yorkshire.
This old crane is located adjacent to the Leeds - Liverpool canal at the canal side behind the Mint Hotel on Granary Wharf Leeds.
I am not sure if was originally installed hereabouts or whether it was acquired from elsewhere. I quite like this kind of former industrial hardware being used as a kind of public art. It adds to feeling of the the days when this stretch of the canal was the lifeblood of the means of transporting goods when the alternative was a horse and cart.
The building in the background just over the canal is Quayside House which houses Investec.
