A few nice street images I found:

92 of these sliding door fitted 3-car EMUs were introduced in 1949. This followed electrification of the Great Eastern line from London Liverpool Street as far as Shenfield. Originally 1500V dc, the route was converted to 25kV later on in the 1950s with sections under low bridges at 6.25kV. The units were all withdrawn by 1981, the year this photo was taken at London Liverpool Street. They were replaced by class 315 units.
Temple Mill, Marshall Street, Leeds, UK.

John Marshall's flax mills on Marshall Street, Holbeck, Leeds, UK. I think the building is supposed to be a full scale replica of the Ancient Egyptian temple at Edfu, and was opened in1838.
It now appears to be derelict, though theres a huge amount of regeneration going on in the streets around this area, so probably not for long...
As beth points out, the roof used to be grassed, and they grazed sheep up there when it was used for making cloth :-)
