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.

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.
