SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

The Boars Head Public House in Pudsey has stood empty since 2005 could this be the longest still standing boarded up Public House in Leeds.

Did someone say the Crown had finally been demolished https://goo.gl/maps/5gvqtu7fNsn ? If so its a possibility. The Dyneley Arms, of course now open was closed for a long time as, I think, was the Hayfield in Chapeltown before it switched use. Off hand I can't think of any others that have been closed for "years" but I suspect a few Estate Pubs may fall into that category.

What about The Rising Sun on Kirkstall road?

Hi tyke bhoy And sparky415 I cant find out when the Crown closed but it could be a good contender.The Rising Sun was not closed for that long i dont think i could be wrong it would no be the first time.

Seems the Rising Sun only been closed a few years....what about The Old George then?

George IV on Kirkstall Road has been closed for years.

The City of Mabgate pub was boarded up for many years and a pub who's name I can't remember was closed for many many years.
It stood on Skinner Lane just around the corner from Mabgate on the same side as the Plasterers pub

Not boarded up but a pub that closed in 1903 & reopened in 2000 The Angel Inn in the Angel Inn Yard. This must be a record ??

Hi uncle mick That must hold the record was it closed down and not used until 2000.?

Though I lived in Leeds for the first 50 years of my life and frequented most of the city centre pubs I I never heard or knew of this building but can not imagine any town centre property being vacant for long. must go have a beer in there next time I am in "Stringer"
