Sorry if I've got the wrong place for this, ie may be buildings etc.But I saw one I thought I knew.It kinda looked familiar from my Royal Park days.Looks like Kelsall Avenue photographed from the higher ground across Alexandra Road.Road does not go through to Burley Lodge Rd and part of Armley Prison visible in distance?Any thoughts.http://goo.gl/maps/tzP0t

Note washing line straddling the street and the half finished paint job on the corner shop.Hard to put a date,tried looking at cars featured....mid/late 1970's ????Don't know location however.

However.....looking at the Godfrey maps I am thrown into confusion.I think what we now call St Mark's Road was Bagby Road.......and St Mark's road ran along what is now the top of the 'T' of the new bit of Archery Road and the rst is lost under redevelopment.

cardieI viewed it at 400% & that could be the meanwood valley/ Bus' Lane mills with diagonal scott hall road from centre-right lamp post.Lot less greenery, though that applies to many older photos
