RPAGE=1But it gives me the opportunity to query what happens with this feature. If you look at previous photos in that section, loads of people write in with suggestions but nothing ever seems to come of it. A while back quite a few tram photos were added to the can you help section and the locations were identified removed fairly quickly from the section. The hospital photo ( no2 ) remains unidentified despite 20 comments and some very distinctive architectural features. Most of the suggestions can be eliminated simply by comparing the very distinctive windows and brickwork with photos on the internet. If anyone would like to take on this puzzle I posted some relevant information here http://www.secretleeds.com/forum/Messag ... D=1698Best of Luck! Oh I'm glad to hear they do actually remove the photos when identified. Yes, I was having another look at that mystery hospital/asylum today. I got as far as finding out that the triangular arches above the windows are called pediments [but usually when over entrances] but a search using that didn't come up with much. Wonder if there's another architectural term for when they are over windows? They don't remove the photo's just alter the description as long as they have enough proof of where the place is. There are some on there that I think could only be identified by the person who lived in, or very near, the house like this one http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... Y=FULLMind you sometimes they do get loads of same identifications but don't change the description and it is kept in the 'Can You Help' section.

Yep, when I said 'remove' I meant I'm glad they take them out of the Can You Help section and into the main body.But as you say in your last sentence, there are some that have been there yonks although seemingly identified.

Prior to that it had briefly been a Hemingways pub. Before 1921 it had brewed its own beer. This ties in with the “Home Brewed Ales” sign.Edwin Hobson was Licensee of the Fountain Head from 1904 through until 1913 [when he moved up the road to the Cemetery Tavern]. I you look at a later picture of the premises, it is possible to see that the adjacent building, St Agnes’ Church Sunday School [which was between Museum Street & Museum Terrace] is exactly the same in both photgraphs.Of the two small photo’s, the one of the left is culled from Ancestry.com, the one on the right, a very poor enlargement of, I believe, the same person – Edwin Hobson. [This also ties in with his name being painted on the wall to the left of the charabanc. Top result again mate,well done Double wow!

Can't fault Leodis this time. The photo has been moved to the main archive and there's a link to this thread for info. Top work liits.
