I'm guessing it was a vacant lot. I originally lived in Leeds until 1985 but I was only 6 when we moved out so my memory is a bit hazy. Nothing.

Just come across a comment on Leodis wich may be of interestto SL posters or to someone you know ._______________________________________________________________________________Name:Martin McGuireComment:AN OPEN INVITATION to The first ever Quarry Hill Flats Re-union and a cricket challenge 50 years in the making. Sunday August 1st (Yorkshire Day) 12 noon outside the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Did you know the O’Haras, the O’Neils, the Ibbitsons, the Quigley, the Pyes, the Fletchers, the Dargans, the Swallows, the Bakers and the McGuires? You are invited to a cricket challenge 50 years in the making. We could never get George Ibbitson out when he was a young lad so now in this his 60th year, we are going to try again. So if you think you can bowl a Yorker on Yorkshire Day we will see you outside the Playhouse. If you don’t want to play cricket why not grab a cuppa in the Playhouse and catch up on old times, reminisce about your days in the flats and amaze yourself on how you haven’t changes in 50 years. Then drinks in the Playhouse, and the Palace.
