anyone come across a photo of St Mary The Virgin, Quarry Hill, Leeds

This is from Leodis:

It says the church was in Mabgate which I can't quite place, but another picture on the same site shows the tower behind Quarry Hill Flats where demolition is taking place.

Hope that's some help,

Leodis has this view of the interior with a description of the church and its history:

Leodis is a wonderful resource for photographs of  Leeds.

If you go to Google maps and search for Mabgate then look for the junction with St Marys Street, the grassed field is the old cholera cemetery, just a handfull of headstones still visible. St Marys used to be where the community building now stands to the right of the cemetery and the old vicarage Sunday school is still standing beyond that.

Sorry, best I can come up with on Leodis.

Dave - thanks for that. Not an area of Leeds I know, but looking for these churches is certainly expanding my knowledge.

Thanks for the help   The headstones mentioned in the cholrea cemetery are they from the 1849 outbreak.  At least 7 members of my family died in the 1849 epidemic

Sorry, I had ancestors who lived a couple of streets away so I made enquiries at Leeds library but they had no records. The burial records could be in the Catholic archives, you could try them.
Some of my ancestors were baptised at Call Lane Arian Independent / Arian Congregational, Leeds which was also fairly close and presents yet another church for your research.
