You can find it on old maps. Do a search for Cromwell Street in Leeds and find the juntion between this and Argyle Road. Make this your central point of view and click on the 1891 1:500 map. You will find Zulu Place on this map nearby. I really hope this makes some sense. There is a picture on Leodis which says it is taken from Zulu Terrace and this is what led me down this path. It would have been near Burmantofts Street and York Road of today.

This is taken from the 1891 1:500 map in the excellent Old-Maps UK website. It shows there was a Zulu Place, Street, Grove and Terrace. It may be of help.I wonder how friendly were Friendly Row and Terrace a little above and left of the Zulu's?

My research suggests that my paternal grandfather and grandmother met whilst next door neighbours in the next street - Zulu Street - at the start of the 20th Century. Information gleaned from 'The National Roll of Honour of the Great War' and Edwardian trade directories suggests that my grandmother's family (Missett) lived at 2 Zulu Street and my grandfather's family (Sadler) lived at 4 Zulu Street. I would be interested if you have any more information. By the time of the Great War, they had married and were living at 21 Cranberry Street in the York Road area. (My York Road roots go back a long way!)

I'm not sure which year, but I did look in a trade directory from around this time and, if I recall correctly, it listed 'Missett' at 2 Zulu Place as well as Mrs Ann Sadler at 4 Zulu Street. That's certainly the address for four of the 'Missett' entries in the Great War book - of which I have a copy at home.
