I can't even place a "sharp bend" on LnB road? In fact it's pretty straight, with the only major bend being the pavillion, near the old wagon n horses, but I wouldn't call it sharp and I don't know of any major buildings that you describe??

Are we even sure it is Leeds and Bradford Road.Many people including me in the distant past have made the mistake of thinking that Bradford Road is still Bradford Road when it becomes Town Street at Ricardhaw Lane and Stanningley Road at the point where L'n'B Road does branch off. Its not beyond belief that under that misunderstanding travelling in the reverse direction Stanningley Road and then the bypass might be mistaken as Leeds/Bradford Road.

The building is now renovated. The bad bend is over the Canal then the River Aire. On the far side of the bend is the Bridge pub. - Could this be where you mean?

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
