I'm looking for a street map of the area opposite Troy Foods / RSL Steeper on Hunlset Road. Can anyone help?

Hi Reg,I've got the Godfrey OS maps of South Leeds (1906) and Hunslet (1905.) Where is Troy Foods exactly, and I'll try and scan the relevant bit and post it on here for you.

Fantastic mate. Troy foods is near Severn Road, opposite and further down the A61 from The Punch Clock. Thanks so much.

Wow thanks mate. I was born on Iveridge Grove. Weird to see it in print. Streets are long gone now. Early 70's I think.

I have an'A-Z' streetmap book from the early/mid 70s(no date but it cost 60p when new) which shows these streets. Where 'Spring Grove' is shown on the 1906 map a school is marked[from info on leodis I understand this was a nursery school.] whist where Grove House is became Pepper Road playground. I wonder if there was a cricket connection to the streets named 'Derbyshire', Leicestershire', Warwickshire' and 'Sussex'? they might just be random counties - but all do play first-class cricket.

This leodis pic was taken looking north from Derbyshire street. The nursery school is on the left, the blind-back houses are on the east side of Iveridge Street. The row to centre right are the back of shops on Low Road, shown from the front in the picture below.

This pic was taken from the north side of Low road looking south west to a row of shops on the other side. The street to the right is Iveridge Street again, whilst the street on the extreme right is Iveson Grove
