Think I guessed what, but where?

How well do you know Leeds?

Noticed this for the first time today, probably due to the influence of this site, though it's not somewhere I go regularly.Anyhow, if it's not obvious at first I'll upload a zoomed-out picture which ought to be obvious.Oh, and bonus point for guessing where I'm [trying to] upload it from.OK, seems only IE can be reliably used to upload so I'll have to wait to upload to SL, hopefully this will display the image anyhow.http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg37/sca ... es=landing

Clue since I'm having trouble uploading: I think it's connected to something a bar is named after, but the bar is nowhere near it.(Interested to know whether Phil and others know it and are holding back, assuming the photo is working?)Edit: does the picture show?

Yes I can see a very small photo, It doesn't give much to go on with clues. The only thing I can say it isn't on the river as the walls aren't very thick, and the water flow is very low and tranquil.It's a case of having to narrow down water features and streams constructed like that. A pretty tough job going on the size of Leeds though

A lot more central than that and I am surprised you haven't covered it Phil.

No, more central and something I've not seen mentioned here apart from what it serves

It drains something, I think. Pretty central.

Sorry Phil, I think you have it. I didn't see your post and I've been away from a computer a while.You see it from the new bridge over the river just as it comes out of the arches. I think it's the drain for the dry docs in Granary Wharf.
