Quincy's street life

[quincyg]

slightly off kilter but as this thread is under general and non Liverpool pics are welcome I may as well add it here...

Went to Leeds with my son-in-law for day and half Thurs/Fri due to family emergency. Took my camera as a distraction.

M62 Yorkshire...always been fascinated by the farmhouse in between the carriageways.


we stayed overnight in a flat belonging to St James hospital for families of in-patients to use. it was in a tower block opposite the hosp. 14th floor! My vertigo panicked a bit but the view was wonderful.

south Leeds by night


to take our minds off things we went into the local pub. wish I'd taken camera in there as it was just like being in an episode of The Wheeltappers and Shunters! (Google it if you're too young to remember). We'd missed the quiz but did get to 'enjoy' Play your cards right...with 2 cards! still it took our minds off things and the Guinness was nice.

anyway the daytime view was just as impressive


Burton factory was right on the doorstep


there are rather groovy bendy buses going past the hospital


on the way back...the famous Scammonden Bridge over M62 near Yorkshire/Lancs border


there were cyclists going across it...rather them than me


son-in-law got into the spirit of 'spotting' by pointing out this old Mg on the back of a trailer on the 62...there was another old car further along but wagon got in the way grrrr


had to drop into Hough Green briefly on the way back so I was able to get this old sign by the station


then it was back to Liverpool and we dropped in at Lottie's. she was on Yo when we arrived

it was good timing really cos as I was getting dropped back home the Dakota that was doing a special flight over the city went over head





things are v hectic at the mo and there will be more flying visits to Leeds but I will keep camera with me and try and get more street life when I'm out and about.
