A well weathered BM on Stone House Farm, Hollowell, on today's bimble.

Not sure if I have seen that one so well spotted

Ta.. It's on the right as you puff up Guilsborough Hill 👍

I always end up going down the hill when I am out that way

The Old Fire Station’
Gipton Approach
(just off York Road/A64)
Leeds

I’d just dropped my Kodiaq off, for a DPF investigation, & the garage owner suggested here for breakfast
(the owner has their BWSOW sited next to ours)

It’s a bit of a Fire Service museum too

Ex Fire Service houses
Firefighters, & families, lived ‘next door’
There’s another set behind me

Old Police Station
Gipton Approach
York Road/A64
Leeds

Gipton had (still has??) a reputation an one of the most unsavoury areas of Leeds, there'll have been a few locals in here, at times

Do the RSJs indicate where the upper auditoria was, as they supported the floor?

Irish Centre
York Road/A64
Burmantofts
Leeds

It's a long time since I've been in there, I think it was 1986 -1987(?), I went with a friend to see Steve Earle & The Dukes
It was probably on the promo-tour, for the 'Copperhead Road' LP, as he was dressed more of 'that era' of his recordings, with long hair & bandana (see below)

I did have tickets to see The Teenage Werewolves here, a few weeks ago, but didn't manage to get there

3 shop-fronts along York Road/A64

This doesn't say a lot about the quality, does it??
