LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME TIME IN THE PARK

As we finally take our leave of Leeds city centre, we happen upon the Feast & Firkin, once a brewpub, but now no longer in business.

We trot along Woodhouse Lane......

.....where we find a traction engine in trouble.

Woodhouse Feast must have been an important gathering.

The Carlton Inn, a John Smith's pub in Woodhouse, has long vanished (Photographer unknown).

The Eldon Inn, Woodhouse, is popular with students from the nearby university.

Back towards the city centre, there's a few pubs to do in an area once called The Leylands. First up is the Reliance, which has since changed its name to Three's a Crowd.

Nearby is North Bar, well worth a visit.

This is the site of The Leylands today, once home to hundreds of new arrived immigrants from the pogroms of Russia.

Another decent pub is the Brunswick.

Next stop is Chapeltown, an inner suburb of Leeds. If you're lost, here's the map. The Queens Arms here, a Tetley house, has long been demolished. Leeds tram no. 51 passes by.

An old postcard of The Parade in Harehills.

St Aidan's church in Harehills is Grade II* listed (Photo by "Chemical Engineer" - Creative Commons License).

It's worth a look inside.

South now, to Neville Hill shed, once part of the North Eastern Railway.

B1 4-6-0 no. 61030 was photographed there circa 1960.

Neville Hill shed was later converted to house diesel traction. 

Not far away is Temple Newsham House.

Almost an "about turn" now, to Chapel Allerton, where Leeds tram no. 67 passes the Weslyan chapel.

Here's Harrogate Road in Chapel Allerton.

Clough Houe, AKA the Mustard Pot, is now a popular pub here (Creative Commons License).

A "must visit" while in Chapel Allerton is the Regent.

The nearby Three Hulats is the local Wetherspoons.

Now we're on Roundhay Road.

Shaftesbury Avenue in Roundhay looks rather upmarket.

Princess Avenue with a Leeds tram.

More Leeds trams, by Roundhay Park, shortly before being replaced by buses.

It's World Childrens Day in the park.

Lots of tortoises in the hot house!

There's a nice ornamental pond, where one can find black swans from Australia.

Other water features include the Upper Lake and Waterloo Lake boathouse.

That's where I'lll end it for now. Next time, more of the suburbs of north Leeds.
