Robinson Place, Holbeck

Post by buffaloskinner »

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out with any photos they may have of Robinson Place in Holbeck. Robinson Place now lies under the footbridge over the A643 next to Dunelm

I have checked on Leodis and found none although there are plenty of the surrounding buildings of St Johns Church, Sunday School and Spence Lane etc.
I believe the area was one of the first to be blitzed by the Germans in 1941 due to it been close to the railway yards and Holbeck stations.

Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?

On a similar subject [and sorry I can't help with Robinson Place]......
Is there, or has there ever been a map of where the bombs fell on Leeds.
An extensive set were produced for London, which the IWM published from time to time - but then gets "precious", throws threats around and withdraws then again when they are ripped off to the internet.
There doesn't seem to be much in the Reference Library either.

Here's the link.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... E&hl=en_US

Some of the sites around Cross Flatts park and Flaxton terrace seem to be missing. I can only assume it's because the map shown is an up to date one and Flaxton Terrace as was no longer exists, but that doesn't explain the Cross Flatts Park omissions.

A Leodis picture of Flaxton Terrace here..

The ones on cardigan road are missing as well unless there's some sort of functionality I haven't worked out how to use.
