The date of execution has been postponed twice already this year so theyprobably need to run the cellar 'dry' first! If they'd stuck to Sam Smith's ale they'd have had a riot on their hands at the mentionof 'Closure!'Lovely building too, such a shame.RIP!CheersArry Awk It'll be a tragedy.It's always been a landmark.My first visit was back in the 70's and what impressed me was the view from the big window looking down into Leeds.The power station,the viaduct spanning the valley,Leeds town hall and beyond...Do any of you Bramley boys recall The Old Oak Tree on Leeds and Bradford road-it's not that long since.

Riotous time had by All! and a very generous landlord provided the Scran at very reasonable rates!I think it is still missed more than what the Sandford ever will be!(that's IF They ever get round to pulling the shutters down!)Cheers ,StevieArry

Don't you get punched in the Sandford for wearing matching socks. I thought they renamed it "The greivous bodily arms"
