These two close together non-drinkable water spouts caught my eye today (January 26 2015). They are somewhere in Leeds, but where? If you know please answer cryptically.
I assume they are water spouts, though no water came out of either while I was there.
Where are these non-drinkable water spouts?

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

That made me buffaloskinner. Oh, and if it is a cryptic reply I don't understand it!buffaloskinner wrote:I believe they were close to these

These photos show the lion spout in a wider view and a close-up, though probably of no help to those who don't know the location!

Near a hotel, perhaps?
They do look familiar but, sadly, my recollection of Leeds's details fails me more than it ought.

The features are not at an hotel but there are hotels fairly close by. There's an underground by the features and I suspect that will improve the odds of getting their location.

I thought it is time to give the answer. They are in 'The Bourse' courtyard off Boar Lane. Going in from Boar Lane there is a 'Subway' (my cryptic "underground") fast food branch on the left and a William Hill bookmakers (my cryptic "odds") on the right.

Ah, thank you, I was thinking of the right area -- I was about to ask whether the recent pictures you posted were a clue.
The hotel I was thinking of I don't recall the name of but it looks a grand affair and is set back off Boar Lane.
