Dont know if I or anyone else has mentioned this but there are some old Hovis signs on Harehills corner Parade. Just at the bottom of Harehills Road on Roundhay Road itself. They have been there YEARS my grandparents remember them in the 60's certainly, and some photos from Leodis show them.

It's near the Becketts pub Meanwood.. I haven't decided if i'm going to use it yet. It borders on interestingness. I've a load like that.... Curses!!! you're spot-on Phill.Heres another pic. I thought it of interest as its at such a strange height relative to the street - I suppose it was put there to be seen from the main road and the becketts which are much higher. If memory serves this was originally Kirbys chip shop - before they moved to their present premises at the bottom of Stonegate Road.Phill, where's that Kirkstall Brewery sign? I'd like to examine that - it looks like another signs been painted over it at some stage that was my parents first Fish Shop in the late 60's early 70'sjimbo
