St Aidan's Church on Roundhay Road in April 1965 with Elford Place West on the right. Built in 1891-4 by R.J. Johnson & A.C. Hicks, St Aidan's joins Basilican form with Romanesque style. The image shows a double-apsed aisled basilica with a basilican chapel attached on the south eastern side. The interior of the church is famous for the large display of mosaics in the apse and on the concelli walls by Frank Brangwyn.
