Vale Street, Totterdown in Bristol has the honour of being the steepest street in Britain. Leeds isn't a notoriously hilly City like Sheffield perhaps, but I was wondering what street in Leeds has the honour of being the steepest?The Google Street view of Vale Street can be seen here. http://snipurl.com/20rvpbThey park their cars on an angle for very good reason by the looks of things

I nominate Pickering Street in Armley, certainly a short sharp climb.
I like work. I can watch it for hours.

Whitecote Hill at Bramley must be one of the steepest ??
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.

Would suspect the Sunny Views which come off Wesley Street are steeper then Wesley Street its self. Also Kirk Beston between Wesley STreet and Crow Nest Lane is fairly steep, but would suspect theres worse in Leeds.
