jo - have you seen the pics (they're on pages 1 and 2 of this enormous thread) I took of the Beckett's during demolition?

hi Skippy
i remember the Rising sun pub in Holbeck..on Domestic street..
Cinema was called the gainsborough..Dont remember the landlord though..
as you rightly say was right beside the cinema..only a little pub,we passed it on the way to the holbeck swimming baths..we were members of the swimming club there..
there was a pub..with a royal name near the swimming baths on holbeck lane..cant think of the name,but my sister met her future hubby in there on a christmas fuddle..
