Also this picture, which shows the old Wesleyan chapel, north of High Street, shown on the 1847 map. Caption: "St Peter's Street, Wesleyan Chapel.Undated, View shows The Old Wesleyan Chapel on St Peter's Street. Wesleyans in Leeds had worshipped in the house of Robert Chippendale until a chapel known as Boggard House was completed in 1751 with John Wesley preaching the first sermon on 14th May. This church was replaced by St Peter's Wesleyan Chapel in 1834, built on the same site. The chapel closed in 1909 and the building was used as St Peter's Pictodrome between 1910 and 1917. Later used as a warehouse, the building has since been demolished."There are several pictures of the area on Leodis.

I found this 1901 picture on Leodis of Back High Street, but it's a bit further up towards Lemon Street, although St Peter's Street junction can still be seen through the murk. I assume the distant chimney belongs to the woollen cloth works beyond Lady Beck? There's a chimney marked here on the 1906 map.

Almost exactly the same view in 1906, during demolition. The area we were discussing appears to have been pulled down.

Is it possible that at some point in time the Pine Apple Inn as a business transferred from number 32 to larger premises at number 20 or 22? ( I think I still prefer Chemimikes number 20 identification due to the size of the brewhouse) The Inn was probably a beerhouse rather than a Public House and a change of address wouldn't have been so much of a problem. Another bit of Jim kite flying, but at least it would "help" the observations to fit.

However, if you look at the other picture (looking down Back High Street) there is "join" in the wall suggesting an extension. I don't mean the big crack where the gable-end's falling off, but further along where the "black square" is.     Having looked at this picture again, perhaps the building was extended to the right, either from the faint line marked, or from the crack near the gable-end. The brick courses don't line up when you look closely, making the latter more probable evidence of rebuilding.

Oh well, best buy myself some maps then...

They have interesting images and information.

It would be brilliant if someone more technically able than me could superimpose the old maps on a google earth pic so we can see exactly where the area is today - hint hint!

Is this what you mean. it was done quickly and I realised at the end one of my correspondence points was a bit out, but gives you some idea . It was not possible to overview the earlier map as, on the area it covered, virtually nothing on it was still there.
