It's on the University campus. That's the edge of the Parkinson building that you can see to the right of the picture.

What a pity. There's loads of these badly faded ones. There's some really good examples hid behind the advertising boards already up. I wish they's rip the things off!!!

Lils CafeHave been looking on Leodis.net there is a picture of 11 Call Lane in 1991, at that time it was The Monti Carlo Coffee House. Above it can be seen the signs for LILS CAFE. The sign appears to be fresh it certainly is a bright white.

There's a nice small sign on the Mill building (Winker Green Mills) just past Tesco on Armley Road/Stanningly Road, for 'The Fox Lace Co'. I'd grab a shot of it before it inevitably dissappears as part of the new development there.
