Fantastic, I really enjoyed watching that (but wouldn't want to go down there). I never realised just what is under our feet. Thanks Phill.

Thanks jan! i do it cos i like it but compliments certainly help make it more worth while!

By the way most of my first pics i took down there first time i'm most unhappy with the results but when you look at the conditions you take them in i don't think i'll try a retake! http://flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/set ... 301066200/

phil,my dad worked in the old slaughterhouse,when it stood on york street at the back of the old market(wholesale).he has told me of an exstensive cellar and storerooms underneath.surley they must still be there,as rat infested as when they were open.have you been down? also,in harehills park cemetery,on the park side,near the railings,there is what we used to call the quarry,used for dumping old flowers and the like.in there,under the ivy,there is a padlocked steel door built into the rock.i would love to know whats behind it,have you any ideas mr davison?

mmm. Very interesting Wiggy. Not sure if any cellars would still be intact for the slaugter house...Wouldn't they have been filled in when the car park went up? Anyway the Harehills park thing sounds interesting indeed. I used to live near there! I shall certainly be having a good look myself. I need to go down there to capture a few hilarious names on the grave stones! One is not printable on a family site... King ?????
