SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

Went to have a look at this today.Very dilapidated, broken rainwater pipes.The building is sealed tight, double metal on the windows.The main drive has been blocked for security, but there is still a considerable amount of builders rubbish been dumped.The two large gateposts nearer Oakwood Ln. do not look as if connected with this building.Posted some pics. here, it is a Flash presentation, might take a while to load.http://www.thelocoworks.talktalk.net/FearnvilleLeft and Right arrows on large pic. move forwards/back etc.

Im over the moon at the pictures that have been posted... i just can't say how much it means to me to see them. To see so many pictures of the house that i was born in is beyond words, ive wanted to see the house for years and was so sure that it wouldnt be their anymore and i couldnt believe it when i joined secret leeds and found out that it was still standing. Thankyou to everyone for all the information you have given on here, it means more than words... thankyou all!!Is their any way that i could save these pictures to my hardrive, i tried but it wouldnt work? Any help would be lovely thankyou Take care everyone,Tracy x x

She's been following this one closely but as yet has been unable to visit as she hoped.

I will send the best ones to her via email .Sent 'em as a series of separate messages, 3 pics in each.These are smaller copies, if larger versions are req. for printing, just let me know.

Looks like someone's had a go at getting in on a couple of the pix.
