Hunslet railway station

Hunslet railway station is a disused station in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The station was opened by the Midland Railway on 1 April 1850 to serve the suburb of Hunslet. Originally built with two platforms, an increase in goods traffic between Normanton and Leeds prompted the Midland Railway to double line capacity between the two locations. As part of this development Hunslet station was relocated approximately one-quarter of a mile (0.4 km) north (closer to Leeds) of its original location with the station buildings at street level on Hilledge Road. The new station opened on 14 September 1873 with four platforms. After the relocation the station remained open until it was closed on 13 June 1960. After closure the station was demolished leaving no trace of its existence.

Stratford Street Mosque

Stratford Street Mosque (officially the Omar Mosque or Masjid-e-Umar) is a mosque in Beeston, Leeds, England. Three people responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombings (Shehzad Tanweer, Mohammad Sidique Khan and Hasib Hussain) were regulars at Friday prayers at the mosque. Stratford Street mosque is just a few streets away from the Colwyn Road home of Tanweer, who caused the Aldgate explosion. Mumir Shah, the imam of the mosque, condemned the London bombings at Friday prayers a day after the attacks, telling worshippers "that all human beings are brothers because of our grandfather, Adam (reported elsewhere as Abraham)" and that the message of Islam is one of "peace and friendship."
