Oh your not on your own there Sir - I don't suppose I'd remember it if I hadn't lived nearby and been an occasional patron - plus from my own point of view it does appear on many a vintage transport picture of the area. On second thoughts Blakey and going back 30 odd years I think I can vaguely remember as I drove the last 77 sevice bus on a Fri. Sat and Sunday to Bramley Town End going like the clappers down Kirkstall Hill to beat the lights at the Star and Garter and seeing would -be passengers come dashing out of the Abbey pub door after the bus, Hoping to catch it outside the S&G! I think they nearly always did as there was a big queue there! LOL

Only kidding - I actually lived in Argie Terrace, top of Burley Hill near "Timothy Whites."
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
