Older than we thought. If this building is a classic Queen Anne period house it really should be a grade triple A listed monument, and somewhere someone should really have championed the building and documented it's history??Have we really sunk so low that this sort of period building has seemingly been ignored for hundreds of years?Lets do the usual history tour. Corn exchange, Town Hall then into the Vic for 10 pints!!I'm being sarcy of course......

Hi everyone,For me it is strange to see a Buslingthorpe Vale sign off Buslingthorpe Lane. I had never noticed it even though I used to walk past it, and the pub, every week, in the early 1950's. On a Sunday lunch time, my father used to call in the pub for a pint whilst I sat outside with a Portello and a packet of crisps. As a child, my father use to take me to what he called "Bus' Vale" to watch an amateur rugby league team, I don't know who they were. They played on a pitch, which was situated between the Yorkshire Switchgear and the Meanwood Arms. I always thought that the ground was called "Bus' Vale" but I must be wrong. My father knew the area well as he was born in Farm Hill Square and played cricket at Meanwood C.C. at the bottom of Woodhouse Ridge, before the war. We lived in Eltham Terrace, off Woodhouse Street, at the time, and used to walk along Bus' Lane to visit my grandmother in Scott Hall Drive.I suppose that it is possible that the rugby team was called "Bus' Vale" and were from the pub, but played their games near to the Meanwood Arms.Ian.

Hi everyone,Further to my previous post, if you Google "Buslingthorpe Vale" there are lots of references to a rugby team of that name, and a rugby ground.Whilst searching, I also found this site to be very interesting:http://tenenitankh.livejournal.com/Ian

I had a few team photos of theirs at one time. Their full back was Johnny Place whose dad was the full back for Hunslet's 1908 4 cups team.Today the equivelent club is Woodhouse Warriors!!
