The building survives today.Around the northern corner was The Pineapple - I think you have it right. I think the locals (who may never have tasted summat as exotic as pineapple) may have nicknamed it the Cabbage.

Hi Parksider we might have solved that. I think i am right in saying if you came out of the British Queen and turned right about two hundred yards up the road was the Albion?never got in the pubs at that time i was seventeen when i left Ashley Street to live in Saxton Gardens.The thing i like about this site is you can put down things you did as kids it gives an insite to the younger ones what it was like in our days it would be a shame if it was all lost .I for one have a lot to say i would be sorry to think it would all be lost when i am no longer here to tell it.Is this how old age gets you thinking?

I think the locals (who may never have tasted summat as exotic as pineapple) may have nicknamed it the Cabbage. This has been mentioned on the site before - and it occured to me that the Cabbage and Pineapple maybe the same place but it would seem not to be the case!I have seen directories for Leeds dating back to the 1820's and they list both pubs - and the 'Cabbage' was a real name not a 'nickname' believe it or not! . The Cabbage was on Leathley Road. The Pineapple or 'Pine Apple' as it was sometimes spelt was round the corner on Ivory Street. There was also a 'Potter's Arms on Ivory St. at one time. [ a bit of googling reveals a pub called the 'Cabbage' in Netherton near Liverpool and also a 'Cabbage Patch' in Twickenham and an 'Honest Cabbage' in Kingston -on -Thames]

Meadow Road directly behind the photographer. ( exact site is now buried under the M621 motorway)

I noticed that there is a similar thread over on this forum. So many pubs are either closed now or up for sale.....even my local :-(http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=250These forums may be the last resting place of these once familiar sites.Regards,Ward

Just thought i would let everone who does come to Pudsey very often know the Weasle that used to be the Pig and Whistle is no longer there it stood empty for quite sometime then was refurbished and opened then closed down again now there is not a stone standing The Boars Head looks like it may go the same way its been boarded up for a few years now.

I live in Pudsey and watched the Weasle go over the last few weeks. The sign is still standing though and the mini guy is now using it as a secure carpark LOLIt died when they decked those houses behind, the Roker Estate I think it was called. Then kids got in and trashed it.....it wasn't a nice pub to go in anyways.

This was one of the (very) few pubs in Pudsey I've never been in. I suppose it was a bit out on a limb.In the 70s the usual run was White Cross, Royal, Golden Lion, Commercial, Kings and back to the White Cross for last orders. Otherwise, the Stanningley Run. The Bankhouse was also popular, but the long walk wasted valuable supping time!
