SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

Looking on the latest additions to leodis.net, there is a detached house that looks to have at one point been part of a couple of semi-detached houses. It can be seen here in the middle of the picture (http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL). There is also a recent view from google maps. This is 912 York Road.
Question is, what happened to the other half... Google searches fail to bring anything up.

I have recently given lots of photos of Seacroft to Leodis, but unfortunately one I didn't send was taken in December 1964 of the same house.It is black and white and was taken before many of the empty /derelict buildings in the village were demolished. In 1964 the area up to the pavement was grassed, the porch was not enclosed and the garage was not there, otherwise it's exactly as it was built

Bomb damage making it unstable but not 912? Leodis says the white house is 918 which makes 914 ad 916 absent. I would guess the missing half of the semi was 914 but the google view doesn't suggest room for another detached house.

No 912 never was a semi detached house. the one to the right is 904. The two on the left are 918, nearest the road, and 914 set back. there is a bumblehole cottage behind 912, which used to be 216.

Credit where it is due, you lads are certainly on the ball

Good info... begs the question as to why it was built in the style of a semi...

Had it been built as a pair, the front projections would have had a very small gap between them.
There is a requirement to take chimneys up to a certain height, the options would have been build tall slender chimneys which could be unstable, or build a gable wall with a pair of short chimneys. the latter option was the one most familiar to builders.
