That appeals But don't forget the tunnel they dug to try and find the lost one, exploring this one would probably reveal a mummified photographer still clasping Nikon with a note nearby - 'I told you there wasn't one'........

Earth (which includes Leeds and all the lost tunnels of Kirkstall and Temple Newsam) are destroyed in 2015 thanks to the Vogon ConDem Constructor Fleet that clears the planet away to make room for an Interstellar Highway, part subsidised by Oxford Universitys Bullingdon Club.
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?

2110...The Harewood Quarter will still be in the planning stage. The Kremlin will have been replaced by a housing scheme, called Quarry Hill for some strange reason. Archaeologists will unearth something called a "bus stop" in Headingley, last seen use in he early 21st century when the populace could afford to travel on them. The Black Prince will have been replaced by a statue of Jimmy Savile in City Square, and we still won't have anything like a Metro in Leeds!
I like work. I can watch it for hours.

Though people then will have to be beware of pigeons and falling coconuts with all their sitting out.
