Apologies for the quality as I took a photo of the book page rather than scanned it. Still, it will show the context of the originally-posted photo much better.Photo credit as posted further up this thread (Steven Burt/Kevin Grady, The Illustrated History of Leeds, Breedon Books, 1994).

I particularly like threads like this one as they show just how massively parts of Leeds have changed. I can recall (just!) seeing the clearances in the Burmantofts and nearby areas. If I recall correctly on looking from York Road the last place still standing for some time was a pub! (I don't know its name). Sorry for straying off-topic of this thread.

Great stuff, thanks Tasa I've done a bit of photo editing to display the full size photo on here.Full size photo can be seen herehttp://tinyurl.com/ozsmto3Very much a tale of two Cities on the full size photo, the new flats in shot would have made it much easier to guess. Yes a good puzzle that one to do.
