SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

I was wandering past Lam Way t'other lunchtime and stopped to look at the blue plaque. Other threads on here has placed Nash's fromt he 1930's but he back of the building seems to date from 1720 and once housed Richard Kemplay's seemingly dubious "Academy for Young Gentlemen".

Yeah Reggie,two buildings made into one.The Tudor frontage on Merrion Street is as you say 1930s,but the back is 18th century,a good build as well

If you look on Google Earth you can see howthe buildings fit together and how the Kemplays Academy has been built round
