Leeds lost pubs

I've been in the West Riding Refreshment Rooms this evening in Dewsbury. 6/7 cask beers, draught cider, Belgian Beers, genuine continental lagers - the place was heaving. Caught the train home and thought about calling in at the Rock in Morley for an odd one - cask beer gone - loud music - hardly anyone in the place.Is it surprising given the economic climate that pubs are closing. They're taking the line of least resistance and serving cr@p to the punters and the punters can buy the same cr@p much cheaper at Morrisons (etc) what a surprise the pubs are closing.

I'd noticed this too - the frontage has all been repainted and the pub signs have been taken down. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

Yes, I noticed that last night too at about 6.30. Mike at the Tarn has mentioned before that it's hardly open at the moment - there's a few takers for the quiz on Thursday nights and a decent handful on Saturday evenings but they never seem to have any cask ale so I don't bother hanging around. It's a far cry from when it was packed out at weekends a few years ago. Passed by the Tut n Shive this aft and it was closed and now has a "Pub To Let" sign outside.

There's been a "To Let" sign outside the Three Horseshoes in Otley since the unfortunate death of the last tennant. However, there was a removal van unloading outside yesterday evening.
