ABOUT CUT & CRAFT LEEDS
Taking over the former Jigsaw and Ben Sherman retail units and what once was the former Collinson’s Cafe, where Wallace Hartley had played in the orchestra shortly before boarding the Titanic as Band Master you can expect a luxurious setting that maintains the character and history of the building with a beautiful central dome and a classic circular Cut & Craft central bar.
We’ll bring our famous Flat Iron Steak, classic mains and bespoke hand-crafted cocktails, beers and wines.
23 King Edward Street
The history of this site
In 1906 the site was occupied by Collinson’s, a local family-run business who were famous for its tea blending and coffee roasting. The front part of the store was used for selling confectionary and the rear of the store was home to Collinson’s Café, which gained a reputation for being a great place to meet to enjoy tea, cakes and live music. Music seemed to have played a huge part in its success, with live music nights and a string quartet often playing to accompany guests’ dining.
A member of the regular string quartet that played at the site was a talented musician named Wallace Hartley. Music, it turned out would be his blessing and his curse for it was his musical talent that progressed his offer to work as ‘band master’ on The White Star Line’s luxury shipping Liner, The Titanic.
The tragic events on the night of the 14th April 1912 are legendary and so too was Wallace’s response to the disaster. He gathered all eight musicians on the ship and began to play for passengers as they boarded the lifeboats. In Wallace’s pockets amongst other things recovered from The Titanic, was a silver matchbox engraved ‘From Collinson’s Staff Leeds’. We pay tribute to Wallace’s heroism and honour his time spent playing music for guests in this building.
