Take the train from Leeds to Carlisle - to Ribblehead viaduct at least - best when it is pissing down with rain.

Or equally the train from Leeds to Carnforth - on a DMU with some character.

Or media museum in Bradford and across the road to the Karachi

People of my grans age hate Jimmys as it used to be a workhouse. Tell anyone over 75 they're going there and they'll assume you're sending them to die.

Actually I'd had a defibrillator fitted at LGI, three weeks in there, then four weeks in isolation ward with a related infection at Jimmy's hardly getting out of bed so I'd lost a bit of pace I think! I can do the Market to The Light in 4 I think!

LGI was great, didn't like Jimmy's, God I was bored. Ended up watching the same ep of Location, Location, Location about 30 times. 2012 was a shiite year, my Horrible Anus....

A PhD student on that kind of mosaic visited a few years back and described them as some of the finest in the country. My parents keep suggesting opening the church up to visitors so that people can see them, but I'm not having it.

The memorial to Will Lord (near the bottom of the page you linked to) is in the kitchen now.

Beautiful - you're a lucky guy! (And even better in that you made your own luck.)

I had a google - I'm a bit interested in history and churches.

Nice potted history here = I'm sure you already know this stuff, but JIC. The mosaics look awesome.

I second the armouries as well, but the countryside and many villages are better if your an outdoors type.

Bear in mind that Rightmove only gives the lowest end of the auction valuation, not the hammer price.

Not when you're driving around it. Its usually 1 word as you realize you should have taken the exit you just went past.

7 down - 4 letters - "someone who designs one way systems"

[eek]

Isn't that 4 words?

One word - Leeds City Centre Loop!

Hahaha! Specially designed to frustrate the first timer.

Still a fair way compared to LGI which is like 2 mins walk! It's about half an hours walk from Jimmy's surely?

If you are walking through that part of Leeds you walk fast anyway!

Go and visit Jimmy Savile's old flat in Roundhay park
Happily located only a few hundred yards from the location of one of the Yorkshire ripper's murder victims

I see, didn't notice it was an auction property. Looks beautiful, i am very jealous.
