CONSCIENCE

In this life we must be very careful about what we do, our actions, even our thoughts. For, before any action there is a previous thought. The fact that the action is not carried out is circumstancial. There is not much difference between thinking and doing, the action is a consequence of thinking. We act according to our thoughts.

The mind must be looked after, more than anything, it is or greatest wealth. It is the only thing we will take with us after the death of the body. Consequently, act according to God's wishes, because the seed God wishes (wants) is not physical but spiritual. Therefore, be clean wool so that God can knit new clothes for you.

Those who do not follow God's commandments, will not get their share in the coming benefits. The rotten apple might ruin the other apples in the basket. The bad fruit will not enter the Kingdom of God.

I think its taken from the north side of meanwood beck, looking south-east towards the city centre, with the beck on the right and the rear of factories on Meanwood Road on the right.

I attempted a reproduction of this photo in the summer of 2009, but from street level rather than an upstairs window. Unfortunately the 'landscaping' looks to have been removed at some point in the intervening twenty-eight years, passing control of the street from pedestrians to traffic.

I attempted a reproduction of this photo in the summer of 2009. There have been several interesting changes in twenty-eight years, but most striking to me was the unfortunate increase in parked cars and traffic.

I attempted a reproduction of this photo in the summer of 2009, but this appears to have been taken from a skyway I couldn't access, so I took another of the ground in front of this long concrete-and-glass building. The trees have grown up and there are cars and bikes now parked down here, but apart from a new tall building in the distance not much has changed.

Well, five months on I was at a loose end one afternoon and finally got round to this mission! It probably would have been better to try and reproduce this photo in the days that snow was on the ground this winter, but the summer will have to do!

My photo of this back alley looks fairly similar apart from the obvious seasonal changes and the apparent felling of a tree on the left at the far end. The house on the right nearest the camera has since been converted into a Spar corner shop. A more visible change is the profusion of wheelie bins. This and the increase in parked cars on the front of Leeds's streets (to saturation point) is the most striking visual difference (apart from changes in specific buildings) between the 1980s and 2009, as far as I can tell from your photos.

I agree with judeh that this is probably the southern end of Back Quarry Mount Terrace, four or five streets to the east of the stated location.

I attempted a reproduction of this photo in the summer of 2009 but couldn't get it quite right, which when I was there I put down to the blanket of snow covering up roads and paths, and the summer leafiness on my visit. It's possible the actual location of this photo is a short distance to the southeast of the location given, but I didn't suspect this until comparing the high-res versions of the two photos with an aerial image.
