I think we should all petition the Town Hall(!)To make Taddy an honorary district of Leeds,andSammy's a Hon. Sub district,so we can post all wewant to about him on Secret Leeds? All in favour? (AYE LADS!)Why should 'John' pay ha'penny a pint to Samfor his well watter,when the River Wharfe runs down the side of theirbrewery???

A nice change the usual shuttingdown and demolitions! I had a pint of Sam's in the New Inn at Gildersome last night, £2.50 Sam's for bitter and half of their Vintage Cider - Helen loves it! The New Inn is worth a visit for those who like fifties art deco too. Our lass lived opposite the new inn for six months,needless to say that i grew a bond with the place on a sarurday night.Still pop in every now and then,bottle of old brewery pale ale is my tipple.Loved the art deco too,the windows at the back remind me of mi grandads lat windows on Quarry Hill. Trouble is Sams isn't a Leeds firm or we could start a thread about them What I find fascinating is that they have their own Pils, Lager, Stout, and Cider. Plus all the wines and spirits behind the bar appear to be marketed by Sams as well. There is a Leeds link though, taken from wikipedia :In 1847, Samuel Smith, a butcher and cattle dealer from Meanwood, Leeds, funded his son John to buy a struggling brewing business in Tadcaster from the Hartley family. That brewery, founded in 1758, is said to be the oldest in Yorkshire.John Smith took over the brewery in 1852 forming John Smith's Brewery. He was later joined by his brother William. John then left the brewery to the eldest son of his other brother Samuel and the joint custiodianship of the business to both William and Samuel. However William bought Samuel's half and moved the business to a new brewery, next door, which is where John Smiths is now brewed, then leaving the business to his sister's sons. Meanwhile Samuel's son Samuel Smith, inherited the Old Brewery on William's death in 1886, and re-opened the brewery under his own name. He then ran it in competition with his cousins' business, John Smiths. Samuel Smith's remains independent, the only brewery in Tadcaster to do so.
