First visit to this site and I haven't read every thread but of the numerous ones I have read I haven't seen mention of The Courtiers (later called the Oak Tree) at Oak Tree Drive in Gipton. A bit of a troublesome pub as I recall and I think the bar at Moss Isley in the Star Wars film was modelled on it.

Hi weeni we have lost quite a lot of pubs in Pudsey over the last few months its a shame but the younger end seem to go for the bars has they call them they dont bother about the price or the taste for that matter as long as they can get stoned drinking who knows what. Then outside fora fracas then a takeaway not forgetting to throw half of it in the road on the way home. Do you know i think i am getting bitter if you pardon the pun.

Noticed it today whenpassing, on the bus Hi arry awk Good to see a pub reopen i have had some good meals in pubs, most of the time very good value.I would think its the only way that some of then can remain open if thats the way forward so be it.If it works and keeps them open i for one am ok with that.

I dont think we've had a pic of this before - the Fleece at Stanningley now an indian restaurant.
