SPLAY=FULL Trying to make sense of the aerial photograph.To the middle of the left hand side is a cleared triangle of land currently home of Leeds College, previously Leeds Technology College and before that Kitson. This would make the road running diagonally up its left side cookridge street and the white buildings the modern day Walkabout.Follow the direction of Cookridge Street across Woodhouse Lane and you can see Queens Square with the familiar curved wall of the Cobourg Pub to the bottom right. Clay Pit Lane follows the line of that curve and heads off towards the top middle of the picture.The two rows of cars that start opposite the cobourg seem to be stood on what is now the Yorkshire Bank HQ and Stick and Twist and the new opal3 (formerly where the Londoner Pub was). The road on the bottom edge seems to follow the modern day Merrion Way with the diagonal bisection. I probably ought to know what the circular building middle right is but unfortunately don’t.The road running almost horizontally from the middle to the right almost at the bottom is now Merrion Street and you can see St Johns Church to the bottom right with New Briggate? down the right edge. The curved road running down the right I am guessing is Wade Lane I make the bisecting line to be the ginnel then. The static water tank must have sat under the Merrion market and wasn't the round building the old Synagogue off Wade Lane?(Chill-pill on its way Si don't blow a hole in your head )

What's left of Wade Passage can be seen running diagonally across the horizontal rows of parked cars (previously Queen's Place and Cobourg Street), just above the centre of the photograph. It looks like a dust-track, and it's full course can be seen. Potter's Alms Houses can be seen near the end of the ginnel, and the circular feature below them is bang on top of General Wade's former digs!

I'm generally leaning to the view that it's an old route that was called Wade's Passage at a later date when it changed from a track to a Ginnel heading towards Wade Lane. Was Woodhouse Lane in eixstance at the time of Wade? Didn't his forces camp out at Woodhouse moor? Perhaps the track from the house he stayed went out through Little london up to the moor and was the routed from the camp to the HQ? All speculative based no knowledge..

Ms Hepper must have been a local landlady, as she is named as owner on all three photos. Sorry Si,not good enough im afraid,cant get my head around the pics in relation to whats left.You and Brandy are Kings of the maps,sort it out!! No, you're thinking of Liits!
