'Newbie', but long time (& extremely fascinated) browser hereSorry to diverisfy away from Leeds, but there's a pub in Wakefield that is lit by gas-lamps.Well, not in entirety, but parts of it are at least.It still has its small rooms (& 'dining chambers') that haven't really been altered for the last 100years +It's the 'Kings Arms' up on Heath Common.http://www.hbclark.co.uk/kingsarms/inde ... e%20357199

Gosh yes - I remember have a drink or two at the Kings Arms when I was in my early twenties .... and that would be in the early 80's before anyone makes a wise crack!Just for info, and I KNOW this isn't Leeds but it is gas lamps - I believe the third largest user of gas illumination in England is the Worth Valley Railway over t'Haworth way - 5 out of 6 stations plus car parks and yards use gas!

Are you sure those ones by the shop door are legit, they look like coach lamps on stained ply wood.

Yes the first is Queens square.I agree with you that is an easy one.It isn't a guess where because it says where it is on the pic lol The other two are guess wheres though!

I might be wrong but I think i saw a non-functioning one in the hedge on Gelderd Road, just before the Gildersome Arms traffic lights on the left as you head towards Birstall. I was driving and OH had a fit about keeping my eyes on the road and stopping at the traffic lights or something, so can anybody up that way clarify?

Ain't life funny, just come across this thread tonight, and just the other day I took a photo of a "Gas Street Light"it is minus the shade but the fitting is still there, It is by the side of Leeds Parish Church on Church Row.
