I've done a search and it came back with nothing, on google street view it's boarded up. Is it open or closed?

The White Horse in Morley has been boarded up with the dreaded metal shutters, what with the Sycamore nearby also boarded up, this part of Morley has completely died a death.

I heard through the grapevine that the Omnibus got busted on Friday and along with some drugs a few weapons got seized also.I hope this isnt another nail in the coffin for another boozer.

The White stag on North Street is closed and has been for a couple of years -it is on this site somewhere!!!It closed, briefly reopened , then closed again - it still has an 'under new management' sign outside!!

Went past the George in Commercial Road Kirkstall today - boards removed from windows, and a notice saying "For Sale - Price Reduced."

I see Rag and Louse in Yeadon is reopening as "Yeadon's only real ale" pub under a new name which has momentarily slipped my mind.I'd say this was a good move as I think it's pretty obvious that when we see a failed pub teopen with little change its invariably amounts to little more than throwing good money after bad. That is unless the new owners have a genuinely different idea for the establishment and with Real Ale pubs being just about the only sector of the pub industry that are anywhere near prospering this venture looks like it might just have a fighting chance of survival.
