Hi Ian the White house was on Folly lane near to the Lady Pit lane end Where the Brett gardens tenements are, not Beeston hill. The pub on lower Beeston hill was the Duke of York. The Mullberry was also on Folly Lane there is some information about it on Leodis.One of the smallest was the Harrisons arms on Malvern road.

Anyone remember The Hayfield in Chapeltown?The police tape in the photo (courtesy of the BBC) tells you something!

The curry house opposite Warner Village in Kirkstall (Sheesh Mahal?) looks like it was probably a pub at some point - anyone know what this might have been and have any pics?The George IV pub further up by Kirkstall lights is also boarded up at the moment, don't know if that's already been mentioned here.

I think the pub on Folly Hill was called the Mulberry Tree - to distinguish it from the Mulberry on Low Road - which still survives.I've often wondered what must be Leeds' smallest pub - I think its a toss-up between the Highland and the Spring Close - I'd plump for the Highland if pushed!

Why don't you try looking at the whole thread - never know what you might find......

Drapesy - you are a star - just seeing the Highfield brings back many memories.In terms of where it was , if you followed the M621 from Hunslet towards Manchester and took the exit for the football ground and then turned up Wesley street right to the top. At the top turn left and travel about a mile to where the crossroads of Tempest road and cemetary Road is , the High field was behind the Mediacl centre on the corner.In the old days you get a number one bus from city square which would take you up Victoria Road , onto meadow lane and then up to beeston Road. half way up Beeston Hill near just past where the old Malvern Cinema use to be there was a turning to the right ( you can still see the entry via the pavings ) . The Highfield was along there on the right.

Hi Tabby cat,having been born and bred on Beeston Hill ( Southridge Street) I remember these pubs. Can you remember the pub that was on Normanton Street just lower down than Malvern Road.Just as you turned into Normanton Street the pub was on the right.
