The "Tut" (and Shive) in Yeadon has a sign written on the door saying "Reopening soon."

The Woolpack in Otley is shut. The Station in Yeadon has a "For Sale" sign outside.

PLAY=FULLI didn't get to leeds til 1989 and I don't remember this at all - when did it go? Here's a shot from an almost identical spot I took only a few days ago - the Merrion Hotel sign looks to be the same. I dont remember the Dortmunder but I remember this as a 'bierkellar' that I think was relaunched several times . It was the Hofbrauhaus for several years and used to serve litre 'stiens' of lager - a great contribution to sensible drinking for the youth of Leeds! at one stage they also had strippers and topless bar maids (not that I ever went when it was like that, of course, I've just been told about it. honestly.)This is a two for one pic - as there's another former pub shown. I believe it was originally called the General Wade - but I may be mistaken. often known as the 'threepenny bit' its gone through a lot of name changes. The window signs now say 'Junction 7 lounge bar' - but it looks to be closed.[Apologies for the poor photo - there was so much traffic on wade Lane it took ages to even get this!] I cant believe these two gr8 places shut down-especially The Hofbrauhaus-I loved that place,if you couldnt pull a bird in there-you were gay.Alyone know who owns it?i,d love to get in and have a look round "for old times sake"

Hey-I used to work behind the bar at "The Ostlers"-I was their only bar lad and I love every minute of it-I loved the challenge of serving a packed pub and the busier it got -the happier I was.The landlord was one of the grumpiest men ive ever known "Charlie" he used to just sit at the end of the bar all night and puff on his pipe and moan about everyone and everything-he was always ok with me tho.I think I worked there for about 6 or 7 months and left the week before I moved to Wigan to wed a Wigan lass(what a fool I was)that was in August 1980.The place shut down a year or two later and never opened again-the place next door was the first ever Virgin record store in Leeds
