A bit of a troublesome pub as I recall and I think the bar at Moss Isley in the Star Wars film was modelled on it. i mentioned the courtier quite early in this thread...it was just like the bar on moss eisley,much worse than the one on shameless!

When it opened it was the pride of Melbourne's estate - in a great location near busy streets and shops and between 2 cinemas. Many of my generation will remember it as a venue for live music. sadly it fell on very ropey times and after one police raid too many was closed down. Remember the Fforde Grene well. . . .after it's halcyon days were over ,you could get free Boxing-Lessons their most weekends.

The Albion in Morley Also The Junction in Pudsey has closed (wasn't a bad pub) and The Hanover in Wortley seems to have closed but I may be wrong. Sad times indeed.Photo used with permission of the owner athttp://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=250

Here's a leodis pic of it. - 1965 - I suspect demolition followed shortly after. It was on the corner of Holbeck Lane and Domestic Street - address 83 Holbeck Lane.

And a further pic taken at the same time - looking down Domestic Street. The' Double Diamond' sign shows that it was an Ind Coope house.
