Ah fantastic - thanks for sharing that old photograph. I've parked in that car park before and remember being intrigued by the columns. I take it they're still standing in the interests of preserving heritage?No idea why they're still there. Guessing they're preserved. Meanwhile, i've stumbled on more slides of Leeds thanks to a ''Secret Old Leeds'' Facebook group. Check these out:
