Seeing as the location is probably now known to most (if not all) I thought I would add this photo that was amomg some of the site that I took on October 30 2012. For those who are still unaware where the remains are the Old Red Lion pub may be a great help! I hope tilly that you do not mind me more or less now giving the location away. Please accept my apologies if I should have left the revealing of the location to you.

No problem at all Leodian its a shame they pulled the building down it was in a nice spot at the side of the river.When you look at what they have done with other buildings on the riverside im sure it would have fitted in.At the moment it is just an eyesore they left a doorway why?

For anyone that is still unsure where the 'doorway arch' is I thought I would post this photo (taken October 30 2012) that shows the Bridgewater Place in the rear and part of the ASDA Headquarters on the left. The warehouse that had the doorway arch was next to what remains of a short stretch of Water Lane that seems to be now called Bridge End on some maps that I've seen (just off Meadow Lane, not far from Leeds Bridge). There is though still a long length of Water Lane near the Bridgewater Place area.

Now that the location has been revealed, this thread gives a lot of information about the building and its surroundings (although I had never seen the photo posted above by phill and I wonder why, when the building was demolished, they left the doorway arch untouched?).http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... ighLight=1
