Summary[edit]

Description

On the left is a commercial premises (currently named Fibre), numbers 168 and 169 Lower Briggate, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. This site was originally two premises, which were brought together when in the early 20th century brothers Charles Frederick Verity and Claude Hamilton Verity extended their hardware shop from 168 to 168-169.

The Verity hardware business was in the building on the left. In that building, Claude Hamilton Verity (1880–1949) was inventing a system for synchronising sound with silent film from 1915 to the late 1920s. Through the railway bridge, behind the bus, you can glimpse Leeds Bridge, the area where Louis le Prince (1841-1890) shot some of the first moving pictures (some footage of traffic).
