I used to work in Leeds and some of the buildings from the mid-late 1800s are still there. Sadly it's mostly banks and finance offices now. There are still churches at both ends, but they're hidden by bigger buildings and aren't quite straight on down the street like this.
This isn't related to the paiting, but I believe it was also the first street in Britain to have a traffic light.
