Whilst Mrs Ada Stone smiles for the camera on her milk round, somewhere in Leeds, c 1942.Where is it? Do we know her?

Your first picture looks like Swinegate alongside the tram depot, looking under the City Station railway bridge towards the Scarborough Hotel Jogon

Great photos Jogon, the top one was taken on Swinegate outside the tram shed. This is the very same spot on street viewhttp://goo.gl/maps/vIVR

A great photo to remind us how it was, your photographer would have been stood near the part of the tram shed with scaffold erected.

Anthony Porter's Flea market, got dragged around a few of them. What year is that pic? Early 80s? A bit different today:http://goo.gl/maps/Bf3u

A bit different today:http://goo.gl/maps/Bf3u At the risk of being horribly wrong, the bus is in Yorkshire Rider colours, which makes it post deregulation - so 1986 onwards?That is supported by one of the cars - just behind the blue Escort estate car is what appears to be a Mk IV Escort waiting to pull out of the junction - which again makes it 1986 or later.Finally having consulted a calendar, it seems that Saturday 9th September (as advertised for the flea market) would make this 1989!
