Alf Cooke printworks, Grade II listed printery in Hunslet Road, Leeds, England.
The three-story red brick building features a prominent clock tower, stone details, terracotta ornaments, a water tower, and a tall chimney.
Following fires in 1880 and 1894, Alfred Cooke rebuilt the printworks in 1895, establishing it as the largest printing facility in the world.
The printworks received recognition as the Royal Color Printer to Queen Victoria in 1885, marking its excellence in chromolithographic production.
Leeds City College transformed the former industrial building into an educational facility in 2013, offering spaces for catering, manufacturing, and beauty studies.
The printworks incorporated a preserved window from the former St Jude's Church when it expanded onto the church site in the 1950s.
