Numbers 1, 30, 33 and 36 used to bring me back from school down here.

Click paper clip above for bigger photo.I can almost smell the coal fire back home.If you know straight off - keep it boiling with 'cryptics'.No points for this one - but we'll do a current view at the end. Love the picture,could be New York or similar.......looks better now than the rubbish now there.

The oddly positioned 'left stone gatepost' still visible. ThanksSo the Brackenwood served the lower side of Lidgett Ln, the Gledhow 69 cutting off via Thorn Ln/ Jacksn Ave thence top Lidgett.

Woodhouse Lane to the left, Albion St to the right. In the days before the St Johns Centre. I shouldn't know that - I'm only 30!

LS1 - well done, even better, a 'young codger'.Now the vexed probem of a 'now shot'. I was on my bicycle at that very junction earlier today. http://goo.gl/maps/fD6JIf you view google map or other, Woodhouse Ln lines up with the gap between Lewis's & Vallances.

Those old bus photos are excellent.

I remember this view. As the Woodhouse Lane now lies under St Johns! And when we caught the bus back to Headingley, the stop was opposite a gun shop on Albion Street. Wonder why there is congestion on the roads. Simple, because there are less of them.
