(This post was meant to pop up yesterday but I munged the dates, to the where in the world posting was a stop-gap as it was late and I was jet-lagged. It’ll do for now though.)
I spotted this in Leeds recently on the back of a building in Vicar Lane.![]()
The building is very 30s judging from the style and it probably had Crittall metal framed windows originally.
That is a very substantial metal-framed ladder cemented into the wall for the purposes of correcting it twice a year. (Maybe it needed winding once a week).

That used to be a bus station. The red buses started from there, as opposed to the green ones (Leeds City Transport).
I remember getting a bus from there to Scarborough as a young kid.

That explains it, time is important for buses, although sometimes you wouldn’t think so when you are waiting for one…
