Through the years many roads have been bulldozed, rerouted and renamed. A few still cling on, going nowhere with no buildings on them. Is Bowman Lane the shortest?

No, its just the way the road sign is placed. Bowman Lane runs fron Crown Point Road to Waterloo Street ........... Good illusion though

D'oh! Any shorter ones or going nowhere?

I suppose on a technicality you could be correct as it is literally chopped through with the new apartments.A road in two halves .......

Being technically correct hasn't helped me win many arguements with my wife.

I was born in Vernon Road, somewhere near Fenton Street and the newer Infirmary complex. I believe that most of it has gone under demolition leaving only a few yards, and last time I tried to locate it there wasn't even a name plate anywhere.

That's now covered by the E C Stoner Building. An apt name for a student edifice.

I worked at Tetleys 24 years and know the area well and watched it all change.Is that Bowman Lane at the Hunslet Road end??

Other end, just by the Adelphi.
