Wiggy, "downstairs toilets in Harehill Park" where abouts were these? The downstairs toilets in the outside market. You could break your neck walking down them.

I 'll name the Charlie Cake park loo's here http://flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/413723306/

The old block at oakwood clock is still there - and they've been closed for donkeys years. The one's near Valley gardens at roundhay park were open til a few years ago. I think, certainly in the last case, that 'cottaging' led to it closing, if you know what I mean...

Not forgetting the ones at the old Tram teminus at the top of Crossgates Road, now the memorial garden, in the central resevation outside the Regal/GEM/ADSA/Chiltern Mills. (That plot's ertainly seen a lot of changes in its life!).
