Good news for a change!I'm pleased to report the Duck and Drake is back in full vigour.I called in this evening to see a reasonable 3 piece blues band entertaining an enthusiastic audience.As ever,a good pint.I hope this situation is not temporary.

What a shame ! I'd like to have seen that! Having recently retired and having a bit more time to go into Leeds with my wife.We went down to Briggate a few weeks ago and found a pub called the Angel up one of the alley's of which there are a few .I was a constant visitor in my late teens to most of the pubs in this area i.e The Ship, The Piccadilly Bar but I can never remember a pub called the Angel in this particular place. I can remember another pub at the bottom end of Briggate called the Angel but it was frequented by the non hetro-sexuels in Leeds around 1958 to early 60's and possibly beyond, but it closed ,I know not when.Can any one remember this pub?

Elevated view looking south down Trinity Street. On the left are numbers 29 to 30, N.G. Bailey & Co. Ltd., electrical engineers; numbers 26 to 27, Blakeys Wallpapers; then George And Dragon Yard; number 34, J. Graham (Leeds) Ltd., home furnishers; numbers 35 to 36, Baker's Household Stores. On the right a sign for Johnson's Engravers (Leeds) Ltd (number 12) can be seen. The street is crowded with shoppers.

Closing party at the Haddon Hall on the coming Tuesday night, so i'm told.Your last chance for a dodgy deal and a fight

The answer to your first question is in the description of this leodis pic. it has been on secret leeds but I can't remember exactly where!!http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?reso ... 11854189In answer to second part - are you thinking of the "Mitre", perhaps??
