Its funny you say that it was only the other day i was talking to a friend and thought an ideal place for a cafe.So what a coincidence its already been used as a food est. I'm not sure which exact building you're referring to, polo, but Jogon is correct that Bibi's started out in Mill Hill and I think it's remained a restaurant ever since they moved out - at one time it was a Spanish restaurant called La Comida and now it's changed to La Conida:http://g.co/maps/qwrqrThe building where Bibi's moved to, in Greek Street, was previously Mario and Franco's La Terrazza in the 1960s - I think this was one of the very early examples of a "chain" restaurant in Leeds as the original was in Soho in London. Edited to add: yes Jogon, we agree on the location of the original Bibi's!

polo wrote: FINALLY SUSSED IT !!! ive managed to answer my own question here the simple explanation is there was an UPPER MILL HILL that i never knew existed that ran behind the chapel it never made sense why it was named so when it was clearly a street or so away. PoloI read but didn't understand that? Sorry to be thick. I think "Mill Hill" (as was) crossed West Bar / Boar Lane (before the shopping centre).North of Boar Ln bit was Upper and it's South of was (not lower, just) Mill Hill. And this ran round the corner by the Mill meeting Swinegate lower down.Thought the back of chapel was confusingly Basinghall St.
