The Fellmonger at Seacroft has been closed for a while, however according to the YEP it has been sold for redevelopment as housing. So, that is the end of another pub.

I used to go there for a pasty when I went to Foxwood, and play football right outside it across North Parkway when I was a kid.

In a previous life, The Globe Inn, Sackville Street-Meanwood Road.The large filled in cellar door opening gives a good clue, otherwise no other evidence showing. http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL
