If i remember correctly from my days working at burtons (about 1998ish) in harehills there was a rather nice tetleys huntsman (i think) where compton road turns into stoney rock lane, (i think it's the junction with Stanley road or lane)

I captured the sign on Wortley Road this evening, it can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/82906764@N ... 7/'Philips and Son Plumbers' is all I can make out. Can you get the rest of it?

I love these old signs but Its getting more and more difficult to find ones that haven't already been nabbed by Phill d or Rikj!!!Anyway here's a nice simple one - does exactly what it says on the tin (its above a chinese now though)

It's near the Becketts pub Meanwood.. I haven't decided if i'm going to use it yet. It borders on interestingness. I've a load like that....

Here's the Compton road Tetley Huntsman sign

Old beer signs are my favourite. Followed by the newsagents with such delights as Woodbines & Capstans advertised

A good old Leeds brew. Kirkstall ales

*Combes/NUT BROWN/ales*

Here's one for Billy bunters of yesteryear!!!
