Help please, I don't know where this is, or if it is Leeds.Came across this on the web, described as 'mucky leeds' etc.Has a look of round by the Chemic/Woodhouse to my untrained 1960's eyes.

All that lovely stone flag + cobbles.The last pic with dog+lamp is lovely. Also a lot to be said for black + white pics. Colour has it's place but seems to sometimes detract from the structural functionalism of the subject. It looks right.
