http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 1178"Eight buildings and public spaces in Leeds have been named on a list of the country’s top 50 hidden city gems.Holbeck Cemetery, in Beeston, Holbeck Viaducts, Temple Works – also known as Temple Mill – and Trinity Church on Boar Lane all feature.St George’s Field – a former cemetery – and an edible garden, both within the Leeds University campus, are also singled out.Perhaps surprisingly, the less inconspicuous Victoria Gardens, on The Headrow, and the former Tetley brewery complete the Leeds locations that made the list."Full story at the above link.

Thanks for the link raveydavey. When I first saw the report in the YEP newspaper edition of August 1 2014 I was amused that the Victoria Gardens was a 'hidden gem' seeing as it will be seen by many hundreds every day!

Taking of hidden gems, the YEP is currently running an occasional 'Hidden Yorkshire' feature and one of today's sites is The Hollies in Meanwood.When typing this, for whatever reason, I initially typed Porkshire instead of Yorkshire. Not even sure how I managed to do that as P and Y are not even next to each other on the keyboard. Perhaps I subconsciously wanted food!

Hiya Leo your right it is the edible garden. And how strange you mention the Hollies because the garden is maintained by gardeners from bardon grange which i'm sure you know is just over the road from the hollies.
