Leeds lost pubs

Here's an extremely short-lived Bramley pub. It was originally the social club of Bramley R.L.F.C. at McLaren Field. When that closed it became a pub called 'The Villager' -( the 'Villagers' had been Bramley R.L.F.C's nickname). The pub didn't last long - it closed about 5 years ago and is now a nursery'currently being refurbished.

The Pack Horse was near the Parkinson Building and the sooty tatty horse only had three legs for many years. I don't know if it still exists as I don't live that side of Leeds any more. I meant the Pack Horse on Briggate - the Pack Horse on Woodhouse Lane is still there - had a pint in it about 2 hours ago.. Isn't there another Pack Horse on Gelderd Road, about half way betwixt the Ring Road and the Ring Factory?

That's another one I'd forgotten about.Late 80's last time I was in, it took a bit of finding,hidden in a maze of streets on a newish housing estate.

Yes the Pack Horse on Gelderd road is still there - a couple of hundred yards past the Wheatsheaf.

I suspect it was either the duke of York, The Pheasant, or the Mulberry Tree

The William IV on Lower Wortley Road. This looks a real old gem - quite an old building and quite a survival. I dont think its been closed long - let's hope someone saves it.I decided to have a scout round the back and got quite a surprise.....

I wasn't expecting this!!!!Obviously the brick frontage is newer - this is a really old stone building - and that sign looks really old too.
