woodhouse

Woodhouse Ridge is "a strip of woodland on the South West hillside of the Meanwood valley in urban area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England". It was "set aside for leisure activities from at least 1846", and it has two main entrances; from Headingley and Meanwood. Basically, it's an old park with...

First report, bear with. There's not too much to say about this site. Just a small example of countless WW2 air raid shelters scattered across the country, most being demolished / locked up / buried. The shelter was likely built in '39/40, buried under an artificial mound that stands by...

Trinity Methodist Iv done a lot of churches / chapels, I mean seriously 50+ but still haven't got "that shot" u know everything symmetrical, so here's my best shot :rofl Anyway just flicking through folders & this is one that's been covered a fair but but I haven't posted so here's my take...

Intro I didn't realise this even existed until we visited. The building from the outside is easily identifiable as derelict, but remained under the radar until a Facebook post appeared shortly after I visited which put an end to it. History I couldn't find anything on this place to start with...

Never know what you can stumble across when you go looking in the woods. Woodhouse Ridge Bomb Shelter is one of many public shelters in Leeds most of which have been bricked up and mounds covered over however can be still seen to this day but luckily like this one some are accessible looking...

So here goes another blast from the past. Maybe a first explore as i cant find any other reports on the place or much information at all to be honest. Please point me in the right direction if you know something i don't. Enjoy. History: (Patchy) Woodhouse Mill / Tack lea works is not to be...

I am sorry as I can't find much history on these and I did't have my camera with me so these are all from my phone. These buildings have a military look to the outside. Inside contain shared living spaces, multiple bedrooms/ bathrooms and communal dining and social rooms. I would love to know...

Again some old shots of mine dating a number of years. Thought it would be good to share. Leeds, like many British Cities during the war built these public shelters from 1938 onwards. For Leeds the preferred location was local recreation grounds as they could easily be accessed by the public...

Spotted this one a while back while driving past and have been keeping my eye on it. Visited a few times on my own and with jazzywheelz looking for access, but the closest we got was finding our way into the dead end of the basement. A few weeks later, I spotted access so me and jazz went for it...

Spotted demolition of a set of Houses / Butchers which used to have a slaughterhouse in back. Slaughterhouse was up to 70s / early 80s (as father in law informs me) Butchers (Townrows) till mid 90s. Tried researching further info but couldn’t find any reference. Entered first house only to...
