I remember when it simply ran all the way through to crown point bridge!Many streets have dissappeared or exist only as the bit at the end.Some major through roads have been decimated. Near Bowman Lane South Brook Street is in bits, one by Salem Chapel and another as a ginnel to black bull street.Jack Lane was particularly split up along it's course.Up in my neck o t'woods Farrar Lane was a major throughfare once but is a backwater now.

This is it now Thanks again Cardi - I didn't take much notice at the time, but I imagine it looked a lot different on May 12th 1936 !!

I think the shortests road/street could be the one at the left of the mulberry pub in hunslet opposite Braimes. Could it be called Mulberry street?.

Hi carith when i was a kid there were one or two houses on the side opposite the pub i bet nothing is there now?     Costco's car park. Did mulberry place also extendfurther than the 10 metres. Costco has probably only been there just over 10 years but I can't remember what it replaced<http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hunslet ... 53.95,,0,5>

Prior to costco the site was used by EJ Arnolds but I think in years gone by it had back to back housing there. When housing was on the site mulberry place may have been a lot longer.
