Does anyone remember the name of the coffee bar, almost next to the Wren hotel in, I think, Brunswick Street please. It was in the 1960's.

Yes, it was the very first of the "set back" shops next to the Wrens, and it was one of the first "espresso" places in Leeds in the mid to late fifties. I can't remember its name then I'm afraid, but for up and coming "with it" young folks it was THE place to be.
