The Chemic in Woodhouse another great survivor and a brilliant pub.[ I know an old building when I see one...this is OLD]

Munki's favourite allegedly - the fine old Pack Horse on Woodhouse Lane

Hey Drapsey.. I hope you have a pint in every pub you snap Hic#    :-# Remember the old Tetley pub hunt when you had to get your card stamped in all the different pubs for a £3.99 t shirt? We all did it in the early 80's

We all did it in the early 80's I certainly try to Phill, it wouldn't be fair otherwise would it?I well remember the Tetley pub Hunt - what a fine contribution to the campaign against drink-driving that was!!!If I remember rightly there were two - one got you a horrible beige t-shirt. the other a slightly more tasteful dark blue number.I remember on Calendar/Look North they had a guy on who managed to track down 20 (I think you had to get 20, or was it 25?)different Tetley pubs that all shared the same name - any guesses what it was?

The good old days eh Drapsey? I never managed it. I always got to within a few stamps short when you ended up Pi##ed & lost the bloody card Well thats a good trivia question. top of my head i'll say Rose & crown as there's a few of them about..

Old as it is the Pack Horse is a new pub to replace an even older one - here's a pic from Leodis of the original Pack Horse about 120/130 years ago

No not 'Rose and Crown' - you'll kick yourself (ormaybe not) it was the 'New Inn'

Mosaic floor from the Pack Horse - not as good as one at the Rising Sun (see signs of old Leodis thread) but a fine piece of work nonetheless

And here's the actual Pack Horse from above the door. He (or she?)'s been painted blue and managed to lose 3 legs! [and there's another pub name].The little sign post in front of the horse says 'to Leeds' and it's even pointing in the right direction.bless.
