Good effort all round. Got most of the ones I had written down, and a few extra for good measure.So just to clear up.....PoloI presume the street name in Chapeltown is Nassau Place. What are, or were the two in town - one still there and one not?There is a London Street (and Lane) in Rawdon. Leeds postcode.Vienna's OK. But I think it's Court, rather than Street.Uncle MickWere you in the same class as J? Unless Bombay really has been the Indian capital.Geordie & BrunoExtra points for Moscow and Copenhagen. Both demolished I think.And Leeds also used to have Berlin names, also demolished.Johnny39Well done with Brussels Street. Not one of Leeds' better known thoroughfares.JDbytheSeaWashington DC. Most powerful country in the world. Last out of the bag. Well done to you. Thanks all for having a go.
