Heres another aerial picture from Leodis.This is looking towards the East, Tong Road/Wellington road runs through the centre then off to the left - copley hill sidings at bottom right corner.The old Yorkshire bank on the corner of Wellington Road and Copley Hill is easy to spot.Heres's the Link to Leodis if you want a better look:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... AY=FULLAnd heres a photo obviously taken on the same flight - slightly higher but shows a bit more of the Lemi.http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... LLComments on Leodis lead me to think these photos were taken in c1965/66Anyhoo you can make out the Lemi on the right hand edge of the photo - about three-quarters of the way up - unfortunately slightly cut-off, but it looks like something's going on. The only thing I can think of is that the feast's in town! wonder if Biscuit Tin was there?

Also thats where Holbeck Rugby club played until they were moved to a site on Elland Road, where they decided they were rubbish at rugby, merged with Hunslet Football team, took up Footy and became Leeds City FC.They had to move travellers off the site at Elland Rd, who cursed the ground for all that played on it (says a lot). Don Revie famously had the curse lifted.
