SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

The thread on Meanwood Park Hospital had me thinking.In the days of old ( early seventies), when you could drive past the Mrytle Tavern straight onto the ringroad, I remeber being taken by my mum down past the hospital, to turn opposite the Myrtle down a long track ( or so it seemed at the time), to a large temporary rubbish tip.This i think would have been around 1973 during the first "Winter of discontent".Was it my imagination or does anyone else remember this?.Tim

Bradford?

Cardi, do you mean was the tip in Bradford?.It wasn't as i remember it, but i would have been 7 in '73. It might have been even earlier..
