Thanks all for the help in identifying the location. I have been looking back at some recent Leeds Trinity Project webcam images that I have saved and the site can be made out but nowhere near as obvious as it is in the image I saved today. I would guess the trees are now in full early flush of light green leaves. I wonder if the thrush fledglings that may have recently flown from the traffic light nest next to the bus station have found a home in the trees?

Here's the view of your wooded area in days gone by. Part of the boundary wall and the steps to St Mary's church still survive herehttp://g.co/maps/c4743Note the desperado traffic warden about to pounce! The image above looks a lot less green than today.I guess the trees you see today are a legacy of the church graveyard allowing Mother Nature to get to work.

You say Phill "Note the desperado traffic warden about to pounce!". It must have been hard work though as the car number plates are obscured!

I used to be enthralled by the rabbit warren on the roundabout outside the White Rose (the black and white built up one), there must have been 20 or more running around during the day.I believe the council have now gassed them all as there is non to be seen anymore, maybe they were distracting the motorists
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?
