Does anyone know the location of Lomond Street?

Demolished in the 60's

Approx. location: http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL

Back to backs, Leeds, late 1960s by Miocene, on Flickr

Yes, Little London. Leodis has photos of Back Lomond Street from Grosvenor Avenue; which parallels the current Blackman Lane. Old OS maps show some very short streets off Grosvenor Avenue, too short to put the names on the map by the look of it. One of these should be Lomond Street.

Now the area is grassed over and home to the MUGA (Multi Use Games Area).

Such photos are fascinating. The children may also still be alive and recall the area.

Searching Leodis for Lomond Street brings up a number of photos with information that might help more precisely locate the photo. This is a link to one of Lomond Street http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL that shows a view taken on 12 June 1967 of part of Lomond Street from Duxbury Terrace that shows the former Camp Road Baptist Chapel that faced Grosvenor Hill and backed on to some of the houses on Lomond Street.

Ta. I will add the link to this page, on the FLICKR page.

Here is a map of Lomond Street

I've been trying to produce an overlay map showing the area as it was with what it is now, but I'm struggling! For interest I would like to know if Camp Road was what is now Oatland Lane? Also, what was (or is, if it is still there) the name of the Public House (PH) marked near to the bottom right between Camp Street and Alfred Terrace in buffaloskinner's very helpful and interesting street map?

I never knew the area so I don't recall it, but it does make me realise just how little I do recall of areas that I at least knew of that were cleared during the 1960's (such as for example those off York Road and North Street). Thankfully therefore there are the Leodis and other photo records.

Alfred House was the pub Leo if I have got my bearings correct and Oatland Lane was Camp Road

Thanks uncle mick for your help which is appreciated.

PS. In the Leodis information it states the pub served Hammons beer, which is a brand that I don't recall hearing of.
