Such a familiar junction even today - the building nearest the top gave way in the 1930s for the West Yorkshire Bus Station, and the gradient in to Edward Street is instantly recognisable. I can still fondly remember the fabulous aroma of Thorne's toffee in the making. When I had my car broken into in Lady Lane I was told by the Police that it is the worst street in Leeds for break ins, and its true that heaps of shattered tinted glass can often be seen in the gutters, so please be warned folks.
