Here's another view looking from Marsh Lane looking directly at what appears to be the entrance to the scrapyard. Dated 1911 so car as yet, but the photo seems to confirm the likely entrance point.http://goo.gl/s9ninf

It looks very quiet down there at the time. Its easy to forget how quiet things could be - even a lot more recently than this photo. Prior to Sunday trading being allowed, virtually the whole of the city centre would be like a ghost town pretty much all day on the Sabbath. How did we manage, eh?

(Click the photo for the full size)Back to the original tram scrap yard question now.I came across this photo which looks to be the same yard. The caption states it's the yard of Joseph Standish Ltd on South Accommodation Road in 1959. A sad photo, and the few scrap trams having more character about them than the entire Leeds bus fleet today. I presume this is the same location today on google street view?http://tinyurl.com/pxas85g
