Yet another on Whingate, partly painted out.I'll put higher resolution copies up on flickr so they can be read once I work out what my password is, including a few extras not shown here.The one I attempted to post last week is athttp://www.flickr.com/photos/82906764@N00/472611177/You'll have to cut and paste the whole link as this forum won't format the part of the url after the '@' sign.

Nice work J.F... I snapped all 3 of those... I've recently been roughless & deleted the poorer quality signs to the great windows x.p dustbin. (I feel bad about it now) i wish the Wormald row sign had been better quality. I doubt if the street exists now. I must try find out.

I noticed one yesterday that i'd never seen before in Leeds City centre. Walking down New Briggate in the direction of the Headrow look across to Thorntons arcade on Briggate and look at the rooftops. There is a large brick wall painted black with some faded writing on. Unfortunately when i passed it i was running for my bus so couldn't stop to see what it said!

Phill, Bull and Mouth. I've seen it before on Leodis. Great idea for a new thread.
