In 1888 its parish church acquired cathedral status. It was the county town of the West Riding of Yorkshire and was the seat of the West Riding County Council from 1889 until 1974 when the county and council were abolished. West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council´s headquarters were in County Hall from 1974 until its dissolution in 1986." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.09.2021) - Latitude
