Yeah ive actually seen most of phill.d posts over the past 4 years and pretty much all of his flickr photos. (the guy seems like a legend to me)Learnt a lot i didnt know myself dint know of the video though very interesting i must say.Im actually a bit of an explorer myself and often wished id been able to go on some of these trips.In fact only yesterday i was at the top of york road library (literally on the top)what a sorry state thats in now :-(Ive lived in leeds all my life (27 yrs) and it was exploring bramley quarry as a child that kind of sparked off my local history intrest.Bramley, beeston and city centre are my specialities though leeds as a whole fascinates me.talking of millgarth do you know what the remaining corner of building still standing is .... bathhouse ???

Im aware of the old millgarth police station roughly where the car park is now but after seeing the photos i didnt think it was the same building.There is one piece of building lefthttp://g.co/maps/nzhjaany idead why it was left standing after the new station was built?

The building highlighted on the map is the old weights and measures building. The rest of the buildings on that side were demolished in the late 1980s.Part of Millgarth (old) station is left there and behind this (toward Harewood Street) is the old Union Street Baths.You can see the corner of both on the left here. http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ...

A restaurant in that small building? Its funny you say that it was only the other day i was talking to a friend and thought an ideal place for a cafe.So what a coincidence its already been used as a food est.
