Confusing, but not the right way.This is the site it came fromhttp://www.ruralroads.org/en/buses.shtmlPerhaps flipping images of Leeds might be good guess where's. Unless someone knows how to flip them back of course
My flickr pictures are herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/Because lunacy was the influence for an album. It goes without saying that an album about lunacy will breed a lunatics obsessions with an album - The Dark side of the moon!

Although this photo is on the other side of the road. I'll keep looking. My first job after leaving school was in that John Colliers on Vicar Lane Sorry to go off the main topic but was this building one large residence at some time? The entrance next to John Collier has a nice balcony above the entrance. Was this latterly a pub or hotel. The whole site look like it could have been a rich persons home, the two domes look like moorish architecture.
Is it me or has Leeds gone mad

Part of it, the big ornate bit on the middle, was the Dolphin Hotel – there are terracotta dolphins in the stonework.The whole area having previously been known as the Shambles and the Leadenhall Slaughter house. It was redeveloped between 1898 and 1903 the building being designed by Frank Matcham, famous for his theatre designs.

It is a fascinating photo. This is a Google Street View that I've captured that shows a 2012 view of the area (you may need to click on the red cross). Some chimneys have gone but some of the stonework pattern and windows are still there. I did not seem to be able to save a direct link to the Google Street View for whatever reason though I'm sure I used to be able to do such a thing!
