Yorkshire Thread!

Lived in Leeds for 20 years - lovely place! (married to a Lancashire lass who still thinks the war of the Roses is an ongoing concern..)
 
I know em! Well sort of aint seen em for years... presume its Mad Mick we're talkin... :D

That may be the guy, quite a big age difference between them

If you do see them say hello and give Rose a big hug from her big brother in Holland :D
 
Yeah sounds like them! Used to regularly see em at parties they put on a few years ago... am about in Hebden now and again so you never know!
 
well, i spent yesterday in t'peak district, then got me sensible legs on and headed yorkshirewards.

i'm in lovely leeds at t'minute. until this afternoon, at least.

and will be back *mwahahahahaha*
 
i only went a little tiny bit down the longendale trail yesterday (to visit me cat's grave, not much walking required) - used to love scampering around the chain of reservoirs near glossop though.
i believe the peak district has many, many good walks.


back on a yorkshire note though.. might have a wander up woodhouse ridge this morning and reminisce a bit before i hurtle back to the big smoke :)
 
ah the ridge, used to live right next to it on Hartley Ave... love how you can walk up there for miles! Remember when I saw a stoat on there once, literally took me about a year to realise what the little sneaky git actually was!
 
:) i used to be on hartley ave too. staying round the corner from it at the moment :D
proper lose yourself but be ten min from civilisation at all times - type - stuff.
i heard that one of the houses down on the wharfedales (t'other side of the ridge, coming off of meanwood road) is being sold. it's the one with all the brilliant badges and pub signs and randomness all over it.
the rumour reached me about a year ago - might see if it's still there :)

(and wave at the horses in coats across the hill at meanwood urbanny farmthing :o)
 
wow, I was at 35 about 5 years ago :D

Never seen yon funny lookin house... will keep me eyes peeled!
 
woodhouse all the way frm 2001 - 2005! quarry mount terrace for two years, then 20 hartley ave (wonky roof and subsidence - we called it 'the slanty shanty :D)
and.. and... do you remember mr ryan, in j p ryan's newsagents (not the top shop)
apparently he stands on a box behind the counter (he does an' all - have a look at his height when he's walking round). and the more he likes you, the more he'll overcharge or shortchange you :D

will shout if yon ouse is still there ;)
 
No way, we'd have been neighbours! Did you look out onto the ridge then? Have mates who still live about 2 doors down from there in a squat thats been on the go for years. Don't remember Mr Ryan... remember the Turbanator tho the guy with 2 huge rottweilers!
 
that's him! that's mr j p ryan!

i lived next to the squat :D
opposite the playground on beirut moor (or the bit of wasteland with steps at the end leading chemicwards)
 
Hehe Beirut Moor :D

Aye that Mr Ryan was a funny character, would give my ex stuff on the tick all the time tho so he must have had a heart of gold!

Ah the Chemic... ain't been there for a while :D
 
grew up in halifax, left for about 6 years, now back and planning my escape again (from 'fax, not yorkshire)
 
Only just seen this thread... big up the LS5 massive B)

I've lived in leeds for about 12 years now (with a quick 9 month stop in Bratfud), love it :)
 
Where's LS5 then? I'm LS12 me, live right next to a big park which drops down into the Aire Valley, I'm well lucky! Got a few mates who live in Bramley... all I know about it is the Daisy Fisheries and the Abbey Inn!
 
5 is Kirkstall. I lived there briefly, tho spent most of me Leeds time in the traditional 4&6 haunts (grahams, brudenells) before a final sojourn in chapeltown.

now far more comfortably ensconced in sunny sheff
 
Grahams'? bit before my time mebbe? Used to live in ls6 but me local was the HP Social...

Got several mates live in Kirkstall, good area, go to the West End sometimes...
