Where is this taken from?

After spending a fortune in bus fares on the 91 and going through a couple of pairs of good walking boots, I can safely say that the photograph was taken up Roxholme Grove, off Harehills Lane.

The extra running time allowed was two minutes from Halton Moor to Stanningley - totally impossible - and in those days nearly every passenger paid cash and there were "multi journey" tickets to sell on board as well. So, as you can imagine, we had little time to study the suburban delights of the "Roxholmes."

North East Leeds really because the transmitter is south west.Nice clue from Phill with the 91 bus which I am not familiar with. Had a look at the timetable on the 'Worst' website but the 'underground' map of the route helped.Needed some point of elevation on that route and I have played football in the past at Bracken Edge. Went on Street View on Harehills Lane near where you would turn up to Yorkshire Amateurs and just got lucky.
