This is becoming a bit of a theme.Old Pubs.Some good, some not.Some old, some newer.Some Leeds Institutions, some dives.All reduced to builders' rubble.

No sign of the 'Melbourn mosaics' - turned to dust I bet...

View down York Road with the Dog and Gun (Pitbull and Shooter) in the distance.It looks like the Shaftesbury's signpost , like many others , will long outlive the pub.

I think it should have been converted into flats or something, I always thought the Shaftsebury was a really impressive looking building.
