Regent House, Skinner Lane, Leeds, LS7
The trouble is, Regent House is long gone. Skinner Lane has been redeveloped in the intervening 37 years and everything was shiny and new when the Streetview cameras rolled down Skinner Lane for the first time in 2008. I know Regent House was at number 18 but all the new builds have messed up the street numbers. A restaurant called Axum occupies the only pre-2008 building still in place, at 34 Skinner Lane. Could Regent House have been near the new block called 20:20 (why else put the number 20 in it's name) or was it on the other side of the junction? Facing Axum, and now demolished, was a pub called The Regent. Is it logical that Regent House was next to The Regent? If so, it would have been somewhere on the now empty site which sits opposite Harewood Barracks Army Reserve.

Richard Hanson, one of the founders of Superior Software had previously written games for Micro Power. In an odd coincidence, Micro Power were also based in the LS7 postcode area, on a road called Regent Street, in a building called Regent House; but a different one.
Well done if you've found this page. It's kind of a work in progress. Superior Software clearly deserve better but I wanted to trash the Untraceables page, which meant creating a new page just for Superior Software, which meant this. Hopefully, maybe, at some point I'll return to the Leeds vicinity and do Superior Software justice. For the time being, consider this page a blog Easter Egg.
