Interesting the carving on the cafe rouge building reads 'Wateroo House' NOT Waterloo House as you might imagine ... anyone any idea why Wateroo? Or may be a kink in the Google image!

That's a tough one Jogon, again there is no guarantee it is Leeds, but I would hazard a guess it is out Fulneck, Farsley, Pudsey way perhaps?There aren't many recognisable landmarks apart from a church, and possible converted church?.

Long hard look and the transmitter top right + lake/gravel pit left and church bottom right make me think Otley [pic] I was there yesterday.Since joining I assumed it was Yeadon and that new build mid right was old Silver Cross Pram Factory.

Huhm, yes I see what you mean, we need a church expert, of which I'm not, but that church...Is it Norman by the looks of the architecture?

The church looks very similar indeed, It's just working out angles now...

I think that's another one solved nicely, well done Jogon And the church is Norman too, the present day building being built on top of an Anglo Saxon church.Next puzzle please!
