Why is it now impossible to access it by car? (or is it just me?)

Just you.............. a bitThere is little/no immediate area parking http://goo.gl/maps/DZLmAnd you have to go a fair way down either Manor Road (on the apex of the Victoria Road bend) or Water Lane to David Street which runs between the two and from which back row runs parallel to the former two

Since when? Of course you can access it by car, unless they've gated it off. Its a bit of a palaver to get there as you cant just pull in off the main road, you have to negotiate a set of winding back streets and one way systems, but as far as I know you can drive right up to the door.

I was sat at one of the outdoor tables at The Grove, enjoying a pint or two of the splendid Daleside Blonde, this very afternoon and watched several people arrived by car. Indeed the road comes virtually up to the door, if you are prepared to navigate the back streets of Holbeck.

I've been before, but last night there was a diversion and I went around three times but couldn't seem to find it.

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

Several roads around the Holbeck area were closed in the evening due to a Zombie event - there is a thread on here about it.

When stopped by the police for driving slowly, he explained he was looking the RL HQ only to be met by the repsonse "they all say that"
