I'd go back to the late 1800s to visit my great great grandad's pub, The Boot & Shoe, and his brother's pub, The Pine Apple, but only if I can come back! They look a bit grim on Leodis - I'd probably need modern medical care on my return!

Go back to some 18th century ancestors in Woodhouseand ask them if they did really come from Guiseley,so i can sort out my family tree correctly!!!

Not sure you'd see many Saxons around the area, they along with the Jutes were mainly based down south( hence Essex, Sussex ect.) The north was where the Angles or Angli lived.

Go back to meet Rev Jenkinson in the 20's / 30's, bring him forward in time to show him that demolishing 30,000 houses and building Gipton, Seacroft, Quarry Hill, Belle Isle and Miggy, probably wasn't such a good idea.
