SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

The photo (taken November 29 2011) shows an intriguing mural above the Betfred betting shop at the junction of Bond Street and Lower Basinghall Street. The wording on the mural is "Wedgwood Worcester Minton Doulton" so it is a pottery themed mural. I've never noticed it before despite it being obvious! I wonder how long it has been there and why a pottery theme with firms that, as far as I know, are not Leeds related?

This photo (taken Nov 29 2011) shows the location of the mural at the junction of Bond Street and Lower Basinghall Street.

If you use the search function and put in "Bond Street" and then work your way down you will find a thread called something like - Building on the corner of Bond Street.This well documents your photographs. Link added to the thread PJ notes:http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... ighLight=1

Thanks PJ. Contrary to what you seem to be implying I did however do a search, though for 'mural' not for 'Bond Street' as I thought the latter would bring up far too many results. This is the link to the 'Building on the corner of Bond Street and Basinghall Street' thread that was posted by 'livi' on June 16 2009 http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... ighLight=1

If that fails then add content to the search, particularly if the subject could be hidden in an unlikely thread.Then all that remains is to look at each of the pages . Using the browser edit facility to quickly search a page for a key word speeds that up - a little. Happy hunting
