Never saw anyone in there for years as a pub. Its a shame these pubs are disappearing but if no one drinks in there its inevitable. At least as a building its now being used.

I seem to remember the club on the Burley road side of Kirkstall Rd, opp the Milford pub approx. Further down on the left before the viaduct was the Tomato dip cafe ( well that's what we use to call it).The upstairs in the club, they use to put strippers on every Sunday lunch, one of the first to do so in the area. Early 70s and as a spotty young teen it was the front row for me , pint of mild close by.

I have a great photo of my Grandad outside the Milford Club. He used to be in the Billiard Team and they won a cup in 1936. I still cant put photos on here so you will have to believe me.I did have an occassion to go to the Tomato Dip in about 1964, which stayed open very late. I met a great guy at a club in Leeds and he was with the Group playing that night. They were called Mickey Finn and the Bluefinns. I had never eaten bacon and egg in the middle of the night before and still havent after all of these years.

I have to confess to being a fairly frequent "small hours" visitor to the Tomato Dip in the 1960s - the thought of the wonderful texture of the large white breadcake well soaked in hot tomato juice and fruit has set me yearning again for those halcyon days
