liits if the image is already hosted somewhere on the web then that can be included in messages. However if is local (on your pc) then there is an issue with attaching it to a message at the moment. (that's over and above the fact that firefox is a no-no to attaching anyway). Edit sorry I notice you have been informed by a earlier post on another thread

If you want me to email it to you, I can]. I have been able to ask the people there what the building was and they say it was the drawing offices for a Wire Works that was situated opposite the building which I assume was between midland Road and Lupton Street.Can I trouble you to see if a wire works was in the directory??

Seems a grand building for a wire works drawing office but it probably became a profitable concern and the building was probably also offices and boardroom and was built swankily to show off.Most industrial business buildings today don't show off like that - you wonder wether anyone is in some of them

If you mean the building on the left at the top of Springfield Mount, it was owned by the University of Leeds. Up to about 4 years ago it was the home of the School of Continuing Education where I worked as i.t. support. The University has since sold it, and it has now been converted into student accomodation. The information below was from the sale details and probably came from Professor Malcom Chase who was head of school at the time, I seem to remember he did a lot of research into its historyThe Priory of St Wilfrid (also known as The Hostel of the Resurrection) on Springfield Mount, Leeds. The Grade II* listed former teaching college was designed by Temple Lushington Moore, a pupil of George Gilbert Scott Jnr, and the leading church architect of the early 20th century. The Priory of St Wilfrid is an imposing neo-Tudor brick and stone property on five floors set around a central courtyard. Internally it retains many original room layouts including a first floor chapel with stained glass windows, refectory, cell dormitories and an imposing double flight stone staircase. Other original features include stone fireplaces, some carved and painted and some with repousée copper fire hoods, oak doors with decorative iron furniture, brass light fittings and a chapel bell by Taylors of Loughborough. Pevsner describes the building as having: “a noble façade, brick, of early Tudor forms. ”The Priory was commissioned by the College and Community of the Resurrection, an Anglican monastic movement, to house members who were taking degrees at the University. It was designed by Temple Lushington Moore, a pupil of George Gilbert Scott and “one of England's most original and … influential church architects” . The 3,425 sq m (36,868 sq ft) property, which was built between 1907 and 1928, was acquired by the University in 1976 and converted to home the University of Leeds' School of Continuing Education. Other minor modifications have occurred since.

Think I got hold of the "wrong end of the stick" again. I must READ posts more carefully.                 Michael
