Pubs closing NOW- in our time.

Regarding the bus crash that is mentioned a few posts above. There is an article in a 'Times Past' section on page 15 of today's YEP that has a photo and report, dated May 14 1968, about a bus crash at the junction of Regent Street and New York Road near Quarry Hill Flats. The bus route number is though said to be a 63, thus not the 67 mentioned in the earlier posts. It would seem therefore it may not be the incident that information is being requested but I thought I would mention it as it may still be of interest.

Not directly about the thread topic but in a related way there does seem to be far fewer off-licence shops than there were not so many years back. No doubt cheap alcohol in supermarkets is increasingly killing off the off-licence trade as well as pubs.

Has the Whinmoor pub been mentioned yet?I'm not sure how long it's been closed. but it looks a while, the outside walling is slowly being dismantled by the local 'yoofs' Bits of stonework are lying about the pavement.http://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn ... hotostream

First the bad news; The New Inn at Guiseley has been sandblasted. Why oh why do folk insist on bleaching the character our of lovely aged Yorkshire stone. It looks like a wedding cake now.But the good news is - it is to re-open as a pub! In about 3 weeks time, and will be owned by a bloke who has another 30 or so pubs around Bradford. I'll try find out who it is...

The YEP website has a report dated today (July 22 2011) about a last ditch attempt to save The Queen on Burley Road from being converted into a Tesco. This is the link to the report http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... _1_3603367

Are they going for some sort of record for how many supermarkets and convenience stores they can cram into that area? O_oOk, I know it's a bit further up than Costcutter/that 7/11 thing/at least 4 asian corner shops/ Iceland/Netto/the proposed Aldi development, but still.
