This was the state of affairs two years agohttp://www.leedscivictrust.org.uk/news0507whitecloth.htmI would love to get in that courtyard and try to see what,if anything,can be seen.Phil_d i think a mission for the LHES should be commisioned. fantastic shot of the west riding bus depot!

I finally got round to watching the episode on Youtube last night. It was great!I cant figure out which pub they used though for the Builders Arms. I was thinking maybe the Lloyds Arms of something but not sure. Any clues anyone...?

On reflectionI dont thin it was the Lloyds Arms. This building is too square. I have attached a screen capture showing the best image I can from the episode on youtube if it helps.....

Hi, if I remember correctly The Builder's Arms was actually The Shepherd in Richmond Hill next door a cinema (which eventually became a bingo hall and is now a fish and chip shop!!) had my first pint in the shepherd,i know it well,but it's not the shepherd.it's probably somewhere that has flats built on it now.
