I used to live in Hartley Avenue when I was a student!
it was shit.
Then I moved to Armley which was much nicer and full of fellow art students.

Are you havin a laugh? Hehe I'm in Armley and I aint ever seen an art student!
This was in the 70's
yup, that's how old I am.
I used to live in a huge old house near Armley baths - it was still there a few years ago.
Armley used to have an old fashioned air in some bits.
So did Hartley Avenue, but not in a nice way. I lived in a house on the corner of H.Ave and Golcar Street. The peeps in Golcar had to walk down the road to the privies in the middle of the street - seriously.
Only last night I was telling my daughter about someone trying to steal our coal from our (disused) outhouse in a cold snap similar to the one we are having now. The corner houses had their own little yard and toilet, but we had an inside bathroom and wc put in at a later time.

does Armley Park drop down to the Aire Valley as well?
Fall Park in Bramley does also.
Don't live that far away from the Daisy fisheries, now.

Shitty-shoed bastard
Aye it's always been a bit rough in Woodhouse when I lived there too... we never had outside loos tho! The only old fashioned bit of Armley near me is the Christchurch Primary (Alan Bennett went there) and accompanying monster of a black church...!
Yeah the park by me is Gott's park and is absolutley huge, bet the kids have had an ace time sledging down there... goes all the way down to the Aire, there's like 3 golf courses and a couple of nature reserves down there... wicked!

well, not to give away my exact location (net stalkers and all), but I grew up very close to the park. Now i live down the road next to a certian frozen foods store. Hopefully will be moving to leeds in the next couple of months.
i grew up in sowerby bridge (near crow wood park), but live over in bradford now.
work a couple of miles away from greetland though
I can't wait to get out of Greetland again. I mean, it's a nice enough place and there are less kids smashing up the bus stops these days, but i've lived for ages (on and off) and it's boring as hell!

I spent almost a year in South Yorkshire back in the early 1990s, in the lovely city of Doncaster. Worked at the local rugby club, in one of the more working-class parts of town. They were a pretty rough lot, but friendly as hell, and i had a great time.
After i left Doncaster, i spent over a year up in the Lakes District, and whenever i returned to Donny to visit my friends i always made a point of getting off the A roads and driving through the dales. Swaledale was always my favorite route, and i loved the town names like Grinton and Arkengarthdale and Gunnerside. Beautiful country.
I love Swaledale.

I'm in town just off Victoria Road. Shame you're in York, we could have met up for a beer. Mind you, it's not that far in the big scheme of things...

I know them ... christ are they still together ? Must be 13+ years since I've seen them.
As for Yorkshire, haven't seen Huddersfield or Holmfirth mentioned on this thread yet ?
