everyone knows how cheery i am when you meet me<LOL>.but seriously there are lots of quirky bits of Leeds history to enliven a walk.I find when taking people round on the rare occasions I am asked to do my Weird Wakefield Walk that it is the unusual tales both the adults and kids love although I have to censer the story of the cook who became the Duchess of Newcastle when young children are on the walk!
Steve JonesI don't know everything, I just like to give that impression!

Your a cheery soul Mr Jones, but yes your right indeed, the kids love the ghoul and horror stories. That's a great suggestion Phill where did you get that photograph of me?He He.
