Having just used Google Maps for the centre of Leeds I got confused as to what were some roads that were on the map. There were several roads marked that I did not know existed between Bond Street and Butts Court. It took me a while before I realised they must be roads inside the car park! I hope nobody tries driving through Leeds relying on the roads being outside ones! If it works the photo is a screen image that I captured.

I wouldn't put too much store by most of the on-line maps. Bramley Ring Road has been running betwixt Seacroft and Whinmoor on several of them for years...in fact it seems to go from the Barwick Road junction right across to Roman Avenue on Google maps. Wherever you are on that stretch it's a blooming long walk to Bramley!

Not just the maps Davey, its quite daunting too when returning home tired with the blooming satnav still on to be told you are in Bramley when you thought you were almost home!
