What is it, where is it, and what is the story behind it?

How well do you know Leeds?

Passed this going up the hill and down the hill over the years. So I know part 1 & 2 but don't know it's story or why it is there.Not Leeds Centre. Not wishing to mislead, the building looks much younger than 1902.

This is Hinsley Hall, a rather fine and exotic looking building for Leeds.http://g.co/maps/n37suI thought the building behind your date stone wall looked like this place nearby but I can't spot that wall and date stone anywhere therehttp://g.co/maps/cf2twBoth places aren't far from your last gas lamp photo so I thought it was around that area perhaps.

Well now you mention it.Using Googlemap directions from here to here it is 1mile 4 mins away, and the last bit would be downhill.Using this route you'd pass a very little known none-leeds-central Brodrick building.

So let's get this straight, your saying it's along the Headingley Lane/Otley Road route if you headed past Cookridge Street?
