I have a photo of it in my Leeds closed pubs set herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/576891 ... 82621928As Mick rightly says the pub isn't that old, I think it was more 'Ye Olde Worlde' old than authentic old. It did have a few unsympathetic add ons over the years too. It is quite hard to date, anyone any ideas? 1930's perhaps?
My flickr pictures are herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/Because lunacy was the influence for an album. It goes without saying that an album about lunacy will breed a lunatics obsessions with an album - The Dark side of the moon!

The "new" Pack Horse opened on 20th November 1936 and was built [if you look at it from the front] just to the right of the original premises. There was some kind of delay with building new premises as the Order of Removal [the transfer of the license from one premises to the other] was renewed in February 1936.

Once had a summer job many moons ago at Lewis's Depot (now Merc/Smart cars afore railway bridge).Went for a pint here, we really had to jogon. Far better to be posted at 'the shop' ready for an evening session commencing in the Piccadilly Bar.Then, quite literally, all downhill from there.
