They had some good bands on .It was always busy too. I think it was called the Regent? Was it owned by Hemingways brewery? perhaps someone can help with this information?

The actual name was the New Regent Inn.It’s Beer House license was granted on 27th November 1925 as a “Special Removal” of the license of the Regent Inn, Regent Street [not the one which closed and was demolished in recent years].A picture of the original Regent is here.......http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... AY=FULLThe reason for the closure was “The premises are required by the Corporation and are about to be pulled down for improvement of the highway” Anyway, Hemingway’s gained the new license.It gained its full publicans license on 2nd April 1958 when Hemingway’s coughed up £2500 to upgrade.Hemingway’s finally sold out to Tetley’s in 1967 although Tetley’s had installed their own manager, Harry Olbison, on the 18th November 1966.I can’t say why it was called the Slip Inn [but it was certainly known as such in the 50’s] or when the name was officially changed but it was some time after 1966.

Thanks for that liits! I remember the New regent now. The picture brings it all back too.Some good local comedians appeard there .The other 2 Hemingways pubs at that time (60's)were the White Horse on York Rd and the Welcome at Tinshill.Been to 'em both way back.The Welcome was the first pub in Leeds to have ultr-violet lights that picked up any thing white that was worn.Some of the lasses became quite embarressed because it even brought the white out on their bra's and pants even under their skirts and blouses!Hemingways bitter was quite awful! I can remember being ill nearly every time had drank it! Good days though!

Never the biggest estate of premises, here’s the list of pubs – beer houses, actually, although the "five did eventually turn into pubs – that Hemingway’s had from 1872 through until they were bought out.Fleece Inn, Reuben Street / Primrose Street. Closed April 1930.Fountain Head, Becket Street. Sold to Melbourne Brewery.Freehold Hotel [previously known as the Clover Nops Inn], Freehold Street.Hampton Hotel, Hampton Terrace / Dent Street.Leeds Arms, Weaver Square, Richmond Street. Closed July 1911.Merry Boys Inn, Mushroom Street. Closed April 1914.New Regent Inn [The Slip], Temple View GrovePrimrose Inn, Primrose Road, Burmantofts. Prospect Inn, Richmond Road [later re-named The Richmond].Regent Inn, Regent Street. Closed November 1925.Springfield Inn, Cranbury Street [street re-named as Mount Tabour Place]. Closed 1951.Welcomb Inn, Silk Mill Drive, Tinshill [re-named The Bedford Arms].White Horse Hotel, York Road.I’m guessing that the “Five” were the premises in hand at the time of the sale, the; Hampton, Slip, Prospect, Welcomb and White Horse.

Sorry liits,don't remember the Hampton or Prospect,but thanks for the information,it's very interesting.

Harry Olbison who I knew quite well managed the Dog and Gun on York Road for sevrral years until he left the pub trade.Were Hemkngways and Duttons conected in any way.I think my paternal grandma was a Dutton and a sister married a. Hemingway and are said to be from the brewery business.

I wonder how short a thread 'Pubs opening NOW - in our time.' would be!
