That's what they must have been filming at the Olympic Cafe on New Market Street back in the summer time. I wondered what it was.

I thought I recognised all those places, also there was some very leafless trees near the farm seeing as the robbery took place in early August they should have been in full leaf.

Just seen the shoebox houses at what I think is Grove Road, Headingley.

Anyone else spot the top of the modern First bus at the Corn Exchange Exchange through the window of the Olympic cafe?

Just been watching Mr Portillo's interesting Bradshaw's Railway Journeys.He was in Birmingham actually - but one thing he said might be useful if someone has the book?He said the book contained a street map of each town.The Birmingham map was much smaller than current brum. Dunno what year he was or whether there's a gem of an undiscovered Leeds map in there.

There are reprints available of the Bradshaws guides at surprisingly reasonable prices (Amazon has lots listed) but I've no idea as to the contents unfortunately.
