South Leeds URC, Dewsbury Road
The 1937 OS map shows a school on this site; the architectural style suggests this is the same building, probably c.1900-1914.
Painted cabinet on the corner of Middleton Crescent
I'm not sure if this is meant to say something, or is just a graffiti tag.

Lazy parking on Burton Road
These two cars are parked on double-yellow lines and blocking a cycle lane. I saw the driver of one of them park, and walk into the adjacent supermarket entrance. There was plenty of room in the car park, but presumably she couldn't be bothered to walk a few metres further.
