I've just come across these building models of well known Leeds buildings herehttp://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=leeds&styp=m&btnG=%E0%A4%96%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%9CYou can rotate the images in a three dimensional way. For some reason it's all in Japanese, but it's easy enough to navigate the site. Just click on the 3D icon on the model you want and rotate away. I found it very handy to see how Millgarth was designed.

That's a great site Phil. I've just had a look at quite a number of the 3D views. The model function may be interesting but I have not tried that (I think it needs a download). Oddly, the site text was in English not Japanese!

That's strange. I get the English text too today. It was all in Japanese last night (and i wasn't drunk) You can see the graphics on the model above are Japanese. Most unusual.

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
