South of the River – Why does it always happen in Holbeck?

On 24 January 2014 By leeds11

On Christmas Eve I saw a man wheeling a shopping trolley with a fridge in it down Cemetery Road (on the road, not the pavement) towards the motorway bridge. It made me laugh, I even tweeted about it with the hashtag “Only In Holbeck”. The two hot topics for

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you had an enjoyable festive season. I struggle with the New Year celebrations. 1 January seems little different to 31 December, the end of the year is surely just a milestone. Why do people get so excited? It’s the end of

“We don’t do it for fun, or to change the world.” So said Paul Napier, a director at Johnston Press plc and former editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post, at a meeting I was at last week. Hmmm. Well, here at South Leeds Towers I like to think we

Gosh, there’s such a lot to talk about this week! I was lucky enough to visit Rome last week with my Other Half and I was really struck by the influence the Romans have had on life in Britain. It’s Alcohol Awareness Week and I considered reviewing my 18
