I thought it was one of the buildings off what I think is called Canada Square?

It's interesting that you mention that square, as I only recently found on old maps that the open area at Toronto Square was a grave yard when the old Leeds General Infirmary was there. I had thought of adding it to a graveyards thread on SL but found it had already been mentioned there.

Ah, yes I did mean Toronto square, I recall there are some distinctive chimneys there too and thought these were they.It seems my memory isn't up to recalling architectural features.I thought the buildings and square were, well not exactly an odd layout as such but the walls, gates and shape of the square don't seem to fit the buildings somehow.

This is a slightly wider field-of-view photo of where the pots are. It may be enough (or not ) to help locate the building where they are.

I got it from Cardi's cryptic clue so I'll take it further. Think Colour and Animal. Think Poles probably and laptops without the tops almost certainly. PS I haven't visitied it in its current carnation so my clues are based on supposition

I guess it's time to reveal the location. It is the Red Leopard place at what was the Jubilee Hotel opposite the Town Hall on The Headrow. It's now a lap dancing club. Nice stacks there (the pots of course! ).
