About that Armley nick - is it possible to get round to the other side of the remaining wall/window? Must be some legendary old school graffiti carved into it...Gonna have to go find it and look. Will take (crappy mobile) photos if poss.....

There are bars visible behind the bricks if you get close. i read this post the other day and was quite fascinated by it so again on my travels today i went that way ( those blooming temporary signals on town street) and looked for it - i think they have knocked it down i saw. in this order HSBC bank then the little shop with hardley owt in and then big sheets of board enclosing something they have demolished, and then the little church after that were the car park to the old maisonettes. no little wall with the boarded up bar window!! - i CANNOT believe they have knocked it down if they have or maybe i was looking for it in the wrong place. anyone else seen it recently?

But of course if it gets in the way of the builders they will pull it down no matter what it is

i think it is part of the police station.as the hole in the wall is to the right (the ones with the bars) the fence goes left and thats what is left of the building but it is also joined to the houses and shops, the ones nr Daves Bazarr.but yes i most probably think they will pull it down as usuall
