Leo,Any idea where I could get my hands on that book?PC Sorry but I cannot help. I have searched the AbeBooks website (www.AbeBooks.co.uk) but did not find any copies for sale in that, nor when I did a search (but not in great depth) of EBay. It may be worth trying a charity bookshop as they sometimes have such books donated.Your mention of the book has prompted me to look for it in my large and sprawling collection of books, but I did not find it on a quick look. It will no doubt be somewhere with other books that could be anywhere, not just in bookcases as many as just placed on the floor! I really must sort out my books! I did find an 'Old Alwoodley in Photographs' compiled by Steven Burt that has about 40 old photographs that include a superb one of Verity's Tea Rooms at Mill Fall Cottage taken in about 1901.I hope you can get a copy.

I suspect Tunnel row cottages were a little like Hustlers Row in meanwood. There are also very interesting isolated rows of old cottages at Cragg Terrace near Apperley Bridge and Far Row at Old Pool Bank.I,ve no idea how to share google earth images, but obviously they're on there

The 'Old Alwoodley in Photographs' is not the same as the 'An Illustrated History of Alwoodley' (see my post yesterday at 17:51:57).

I must read earlier threads, it's just laziness. That + I can't see my glasses

Someday I will find where my copy is stored! During the unsuccessful search for it yesterday I came across loads of booklets/books that I had forgotten I had, including lots about Leeds. I really must get some order to my books storage but they do take up lots of room which is why they are not just in bookcases but many are piled on floors or on the top of things.
