Colour you can have and unlike Mr Ford it doesn’t have to be black but it does have to be American i.e. color

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! I thought you were a dab hand as well. Impossibly complicated new scanner + total lack of computer know-how = high blood pressure.I finally got it to post! If you want it superimposed onto Google Earth, you can get stuffed!!!      See, i knew youd have it,show off!!Why isnt it in colour??? I've got the maps - it's putting them on here that's the problem!Everyone knows that Hollywood didn't invent talking maps until the 1920s, and colour ones came even later.

Si's map shows 2 pubs - not very imaginatively named they were the Brunswick Hotel on Brunswick Terrace and the Rockingham Arms on corner of Rockingham Street and Wade Lane. There was a 'Globe' on Rockingham Street at one time , but not marked on map for some reason - possibly just a beer-house

During the Jacobite rising of 1745 which ended at Culloden a year later by which time Wade had been repalced. Did he stay in Leeds on his way up to fail to sort the Jacobites out or on his way back after being sacked?He certainly built lots of roads in Scotland to make it easier to chase the Scots about.Did he build a bit of road from Woodhouse Ridge/Buslingthorpe down the the church????He would almost certainly have attended the church?

Usual “health” warnings apply but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_WadeOther documents suggest the Winter of 1745/6 and that large swathes of trees disappeared http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&cl ... eds37.html even suggests Camp Road as well as Wade Lane commemorate the stay and that this was the last tented encampment during a war in England.

Good find.
