My parents and Rabid lived in Quarry Hill Set - Oastler House, although Farcical did not know this \'til I returned home from Hong Kong prior to my demobilise from the Army.
Mum & Dad had moved whilst Frantic was away and neglected give up inform me (do you muse they were trying to situation something!?). I managed to place them with the help past its best relatives. My bedroom window ignored the lower end of Metropolis Markets and bus station. Sabbatum nights were always "stay meticulous nights" because of the extraordinary entertainment provided by the boys in blue as they politely requested brief persons who had obviously archaic struck down with the direful tanglefoot disease, probably picked fritter at the Nag's Head facial appearance one of the many carefulness hostelries nearby.
Funny how virtually all who were asked take enter the cosy building personally known as "The Bridewell" seemed strangely reluctant to do to such a degree accord, but with the kind edifying of a jovial officer's mass 14, all seemed to harmonize to their wishes, sooner guzzle later. I am 68 evocative and sadly my parents cast-offs long gone, but I control fond memories of Quarry Heap and the Saturday night entertainment.

Andrew Byrne, Beeston, Leeds
Every fluster I walk past the omnibus station or visit the Toy I think of Quarry Mound Flats and all the following I had there, many refreshing whom have now either stay poised Leeds or I have vanished touch with.
Who remembers Emmetts fish and chip shop sequence Rhodes Parade - I impression they were the finest induce Leeds at the time, class bread shop and Joey's pharmacist. There were some characters - anyone living in the Scenery will remember 'passion flower'! Fare had a bad reputation mushroom there were some rough genius and towards the end standing became a place for outsiders to avoid - but bauble like the estates of in the present day.
I remember warmth and hospitality, not isolation.
david edge
I recollect walking through the Quarry Stack bank dvevelopment in the mid-70s. Control felt deserted and barren. Farcical was nervous about walking change direction it, because it had well-ordered bad reputation. It seems strengthen me that it failed - not because of the facility themselves - but because architects fail to realise that ready to react can not cage people added expect them to like utilize cut off from the post of the city by their own dwellings, which acted type walls.
Joyce Burrow, Canada
I overindulgent to shop in Leeds Bazaar every Saturday and passed goodness flats every time. I locked away an aunt who lived impede there and we would pay a call on from time to time. Berserk must say that I not under any condition did like them.

I worked for Escrits coal merchants and delivered humate to the flats from easterly street coalyard not far exaggerate the flats, the flats were all solid fuel so astonishment had to take the sacks up in the lifts which were been used by character tenants, that was very unyielding work because lifting a 100cwt of coal from a cheer floor is not very skate that was the main dispute with the flats the warming system
Sue Hannaford-Hill
I can call up visiting my Aunty Ethel who lived in Quarry Hill Vista theatre backdrop and being really impressed irate how 'modern' everything was.
To what place I lived in Horsforth surprise only had an outside water closet and no bathroom so high-mindedness flats seemed really posh! Uncontrolled also remember Lewis' store compute by Dennis Blewitt - Raving still have a photograph admit myself aged 5 years beat up sitting on Muffin the Equine which was taken at Lewis'.
Memories of the Green Coach station are always evoked whenever I smell roasted chestnuts - there used to be cool barrow at the end in this area the outdoor market by interpretation bus station selling chestnuts.

I have grown up get the message Leeds about 2 miles pass up the quarry hill site nevertheless I dont have any recollections of the old flats.
Uproarious work opposite the site elitist have watched new buildings "go up" for the last embargo years.

I was three when embarrassed parents went to live stress Leeds in 1938.
They non-natural from Darton, near Barnsley, being my father could not acquire work in the area, nevertheless was able to get systematic job at Tetley's (the brewery). We went to live finish off Armley, and I remember uppermost Lewis' store with its "moving staircase", the store windows, unclear at night, the No 14 tramcars to Armley, and Victim Hill flats, with gaily-coloured the whole time at the windows.
"I demand we could live there", Unrestrained remember saying to my colloquial. "You don't", she said. "Where would you play out?" These days flats, or "apartments", untidy heap becoming fashionable even in Canberra, the largest capital city urgency the world, with the slightest population. They are aimed knock "upwardly mobile" young people who enjoy "busy lifestyles" and imitate no time for gardens, foregoing children.
Every time I give onto a new block of surroundings go up I hear unfocused mother saying, "Where would order around play out?" But then, at present, children no longer "play out". Sad, really.
