If it wasn't for the sheer dominance of the Parkinson building at Leeds University, the bottom part of this photo reminds me of the aerial photos of the damage to Dresden in 1945 for some reason. The buildings look shell like, the windows blacked out, almost like all the glass has been blown out. But what the Luftwaffe didn't destroy, the City planners soon would. Most of the buildings at the bottom of this photo were cleared to make way for the Inner Ring Road. Viewed full size, the spire of the smallest church in the middle of the photo is Blenheim Baptist Church on Blackman Lane. Everything below Blackman Lane was wiped off the map in the 1960's. Blenheim Primary school and play fields would take up much of the bottom half of this aerial view today.
