The 1906 maps says the street on the left of the pub has only ever been as long as the pub with a works on the the back of the pub. The road on the right of the pub was mulberry place and had two blocks of 4 back to backs.

Thanks Cardi, I must learn to know my left from my right and stand corrected.

Costco has probably only been there just over 10 years but I can't remember what it replaced Mulberry place was originally 16 back to backs long.It ended at a spanish leather works.The other backs south of "place" was mulberry street. there was also Mulberry terrace.It was John Fowlers steam plough and locomotive works that descended on the area and changed matters.I suspect the Mulberry was built to slake the thirst of the engineers at the famous factory.The Mulberry houses were possibly demolished and rebuilt as back to backs again with new streets Leathley, Dresser and Ward street being built.But behind the Mulberry was a "works" attached to Fowlers.It's all John Fowlers fault dontcha know.

Surely Bradley Hill View in bramley must be in with a shout its as long as a semi and the road sign has the only house number on it. Google earth has it as swinnow lane but surprise surprise this is wrong.http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie= ... 6,,0,30.38

I had I'anson place off Dewsbury Road near the Juncy and Blooming Rose as very short and not "shortened" from an original length, and checked it on street view - just demolished!

Bradley Hill View may be short but under Leeds Fed rules it doesn't count because it hasn't been shortened. However under Yorkshire Conference Red triangle it is a contender.
