Vale Street, Totterdown in Bristol has the honour of being the steepest street in Britain. Leeds isn't a notoriously hilly City like Sheffield perhaps, but I was wondering what street in Leeds has the honour of being the steepest?The Google Street view of Vale Street can be seen here. http://snipurl.com/20rvpbThey park their cars on an angle for very good reason by the looks of things

Wesley Street LS 11. It always felt steep climbing up it after Leeds United lost

I nominate Pickering Street in Armley, certainly a short sharp climb.

Whitecote Hill at Bramley must be one of the steepest ??

Would suspect the Sunny Views which come off Wesley Street are steeper then Wesley Street its self. Also Kirk Beston between Wesley STreet and Crow Nest Lane is fairly steep, but would suspect theres worse in Leeds.
