Yes, it's on there. Passed it yesterday (for about the 1,000,000th time) but didn't have any gear with me.
Quote: JerryChicken "...some of the old building subjects that I have noted are The old Woodhouse workhouse - stand on Otley Road near the statue at the traffic lights at the junction with Clarendon Rd and look towards Woodhouse - the long brick building facing Woodhouse Moor is the old workhouse…'"
I know the building you mean - red brick with castellations on Raglan Road. (You can't live where we lived and not know all about the Charge of the Light Brigade - Raglan, Brudenell, Cardigan et al.) I photographed it a few years ago but didn't know it was an ex-workhouse.

The school is Quarry Mount. When I was at Queens Road (later Royal Park) in the 1950s, Quarry Mount were our fiercest rivals. Even the inter-school cricket matches turned into bloodbaths! Such fun.

The 99 steps. Stuart Walton springs immediately to mind; Bob Barker hasn't done them but should. I think they've now been refurbed and you can no longer see the evidence of the thousands of clogs that climbed them.
