This photo (taken May 14 2012) shows some interesting steps close by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal just before that joins the River Aire in the Granary Wharf area. I assume the steps had something to do with the canal, though being right up next to a wall of a building it does seem an odd place to have put steps. The narrow window frame on that building may be an original feature, though it has clearly been modernised.I've tried a search of SL and did not readily come across any mention of these steps but I apologise if they have been the subject of a SL thread in the past.

A rainbow is a ribbon that Nature puts on when she washes her hair.
Yes, I agree too.I think the window is probably modern, unless the new stone surround is much thicker than an original. Some of the stones which butt-up to the surround are very thin with "sharp" edges, suggesting they've been cut down.
