Not the highest rooftop in the area by any means, but still a decent vantage point, and it stands on one of the oldest roads in Leeds!
Back in't the day (mid 1000's) Leeds was a village, based on farming and centred around the Leeds Bridge. The main roads being Bridge Gate (Briggate), Kirk Gate leading to the church, and Burgh Lane (Boar Lane) - the same road that the Marriott stands on today!
I went up here about 7 years ago, and had forgotten about it until recently! Myself and Fowle were roaming the streets so decided to give it a try. Clough was 'busy' so he couldn't come out. We text him to say that we're rooftoppin' and he was on the roof with us within half an hour haha. Busy my arse.
Not seen anyone else up here before, so it's a nice little find.
Anyways, piccies....
