Unfortunately i didn't find out about this visit untill Thursday so i couldn't get anything sorted for any secret Leedsers interested, but if anyone has any places they'd like to visit then please let me know & i'll see if i can charm our way in!!

Yeah i was suprised it was there. from a distance it looked like it was made out of cloth untill closer inspection showed it was the real thing. I've seen it on pics. I'll try find out where the signs were placed. We made inquiries into the city center pub with the secret air raid shelters when we were having a pint afterwards! Were slowly convincing the landlady to let us have a look but thats another story altogether!
