Hi Simon, Wonderful photos! My name is Becky and I work in the University of Leeds Alumni and Development office on our online scrapbook (https://alumni.leeds.ac.uk/alumni_scrapbook) which is an image resource documenting University life form the 50's-modern day. We would love to be able to able to use this shot and some of your others from around Leeds on the scrapbook - would this be possible? We would, of course, give you full credit for any photographs used! Best wishes and Merry Christmas,

Becky Winwood extalum9@adm.leeds.ac.uk

Belated reply (but then we are working on timescales measured in decades here) to say that no, that's not me, and I don't think we do know each other. Just looking through these photos again, am glad I got round to that little reproduction project, and find myself wondering whether it looks much different now, six years on!

Not pedantic at all! Your attention to detail is very welcome.

Well, I don't think I was really about to turn right here at Eastcote traffic lights, but my point was that nostalgia kept telling me that I was!(and I DO miss my old Cortina MKII - the most reliable car I ever had!!! I also miss Pinner, Eastcote, etc, come to that!) Best wishes, Andy

Taken from about the time I moved to Pinner. No change really: even the cars are the same (aren't they?). You're right about about the Manor House; The Case Is Altered was, and is, always a better bet. LIKE. Best Wishes, Andy

Breathtaking! VANN in Lake Lure, North Carolina. Thank you...

I really like this photo. I live on Cliff Mount Terrace and I'm pretty sure you are spot on with the location Simon. That graffiti is not there anymore but recently someone added a stencil of Bruce Forsyth in its place...

It's looking a lot better now (Feb 2010)

Headrow, these are great. I have commented on almost all of this set of photos - but mostly under my originals. With regard to this one, I think you have captured it well. Whilst I think you are one street further East (I took the original from the gable-end attic window of 34 Autumn Place - between Autumn Place and Grove, not Autumn Place and Street) that does correct somewhat for the different elevation.

On the right you can see the curb goes in and the house no longer has the tiny front yard. This is clearly the sam place as where the road comes round in front of the pedestrianised bit.

It's interesting what you say about the pedestrianisation. When I lived there in the 80s people were really uite negative about it. The problem being that it had removed all the through traffic and that meant the businesses on Burley Lodge Road saw greatly reduced custom and that depressed the area (and it was pretty depressed in those days). I wonder whether their removal has reversed that. I expect not - when it's gone it stays gone.
