Within 1/2 a mile is a 12th Century Norman Church (where we worship) - it's grim up north, tha knows.

I am impressed with your vocabulary, I had to look up "salubrious".
erm, Leeds City Centre has quite a few restaurants, too; Sugarvine lists nearly 200 in the city centre alone (these are all probably within a 15-20 minute walk from the railway station).

But that's all about the material things - I just like the quality of life up here.
