Great work by mhoulden! As the saying goes "the difficult we do immediately , the impossible takes a little longer!"
If you feel like taking on another unsolved case how about the mystery hospital photo?

It used to be said that the statue of the Black Prince had been placed in City Square , near the station, pointing South to tell all the southerners who've just got off the train to b****r off back down south!

That original photo looks like it's been taken at a really weird angle compared to the streetview pic.

Glad you managed to find it mhoulden, solved a good mystery!

Since the place has been found and it isn't Leeds, I'll lock it as it's now off topic. A large raspberry to the YEP for posting a photo of somewhere in Hull in a Leeds newspaper.
