It's on Belle Vue Road. Arry will probably know if there was a Belle Vue pub round there. I don't think there was though. Is anyone on here a member of CAMRA ? Will they have a list of Tetley pubs or has anyone thought of ringing Tetleys brewery?
Sit thissen dahn an' tell us abaht it.

I know the sign obviously isn't this old, but I've had a look at the 1908 Godfrey map, and there isn't a single "PH" marked on Belle Vue Road. This doesn't mean there wasn't a pub though, as quite a few are missed off from previous experience.However, there is a "Club" marked between Belle Vue Avenue and Belle Vue Crescent. As no one's heard of a Belle Vue pub in Leeds, perhaps the sign is from a club, rather than a pub?

I'm going to stick my neck out, perhaps ,but I would say;1. there hasn't been a pub in Leeds called the 'Belle Vue' within living memory(or even 'Arry's!)2. it's definitely a pub sign
there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.
