A remarkable bit of Leeds history which, to my amazement, I only noticed myself very recently.I have a feeling though that someone will crack it fairly easily !! Nice to see that in the olden days, even in stonework, the apostrophe is correctly used to denote that there was more than one overseer !!

May I hazard a guess? I also have never seen the wording "overseers' office" on this building (if I'm correct, of course!) so if foxed me initially but if I've not got my wires crossed I *think* this is...(I'll be cryptic to give other posters a chance of guessing)is it opposite a place where one may borrow books and close to both a chippy and a grizzly part of Leeds history?

yes I know it well, Peter Sutcliffe and Geoffry Boycott might have crossed paths right outside here.

It looks to be a recently externally cleaned building and (based on what I think the cryptic clues seem to imply) it is in the Headingley area.
