Has any one out there got a map showing the boundary's of Armley,Wortley and New Wortley?I was born in Armley nere the old Castleton School .On the Leodis site there are some old streets on Armley road only 100yds down that says these streets are in Wortley.I'd like to know where the exact boundary starts and finishes. Any one help? Thanks in anticipation.

I may of course be asking too much and I think maybe that boundaries have changed over the years.

There are only 10 types of people in the world -those who understand binary, and those that don't.

Could be my m/c.I'm only using an Acer net book with Linux as my son has taken possession of my laptop,typical, breaks his own and borrows mine! If mine breaks down I wonder which one will get fixed? I dont think it will be mine somehow!Thanks again.
