I rember going in the Brassmoulder's a couple of times that was near here. I cant find anything about the 'pineapple' - never heard of that before. I do remember giong in a pub near Jack Lane in the 80s - tetley's pub everything around it had been demolished- it was called the British Queen - do you remember it?. The Craven Gate was near too of course. British Queen at the side of the hunslet engine works.also almost opposite the black horse was the anchor.

Right up until I met her in 1958.Would anyone out there have a snap or picture of, or one that includes The Oak. We have searched all along the Leodis site. But the photos always end right before the pub.! [Theres plenty of her old school, Buslingthorpe ]. Cheers. My Granddad and Uncle used to be regulars in The Oak. I remember standing outside in my Whitsie clothes hoping for a few coppers from the Sunday drinkers. It backed onto Buggy Park which was behind Bus school, which my Dad and Uncles attended. Most of my female relations worked at The Roscoe further along, bottom of Oxford Road.

drapesy wrote: 'Bar Work' is the former 'West Riding'. If i remember right the 'Blue Leopard' used to be the Army recruitment office. In the late 70's,when breweries started listening to what drinkers wanted,there began a large scale re-introduction of hand-pumps.I believe the West Riding was one of the first city centre pubs to revert to this traditional method of dispensing ale.

Jancee.? Do you have a surname for your relatives.? [ex- regulars of the Oak in Meanwood Rd.] The wife was Elaine Moss. But her grandad, the landlord, was Billy Woods. Thanks.

We have a unique surname I wouldn't want to put up in public but my Granddad was Tommy, my uncle was Terry who had brothers Jack and Bernard. All the lads went to Buzz. They lived on Clayfield Place, the streets between Oxford and Cambridge Roads and my Gran was a Simpson. I think perhaps her brother Kenny Simpson drank in The Oak too. That family lived on Oxford Road above the Roscoe. I'm afraid these drinkers are no longer with us so I can't ask them about the pub. Does Elaine remember Buggy Park?

Hi Jancee, Thanks for the answer . Elaine certainly does remember the 'Buggy Park'. But as she left school [Bus ], in 1955. And as we got wed in 59, her grandad retired from the pub.Unfortunately for me I thought at the time.! She's now racking her brain for all the brothers that attended there.And your grandad Tommy.
