The fence has now been "corporatised" and is covered in Wetherspoon's logos and big colour pics of beer and food. It looks like it is to remain named "The Bowling Green." Strangely, as I walked past last night, there was a lot of water bubbling from under the fence, as if there was a burst pipe somewhere...

I'm think we mentioned The Rising Sun on Kirkstall Road previously (didn't the YEP report it had closed, despite it still being open?), but the windows are all boarded up today.

Dont know where to put this so apolgies if in wrong thread. I met up with my Uncle for lunch who i havent met before and he was filling me in on a few family history help. He mentioned that my Grandma's Aunt Beatrice Morton was a welder in WWII and after leaving the army she was the bouncer of the Mucky duck down Call's. apparently she was quite a ruff women who took no flak of anyone. and was known by all the publicans and regulars around the mucky duck area, she also lived in Blackbull Street, Water lane and Sweet Street. Was wondering if anyone of the older SL folk knew of her? and could tell me abit more of this old battle axe. thankyou in advance

My mother was also a welder [in the tool room at AVRO] but went back to Burton's after the war. I never thought to ask her if se'd considered bouncing rather than sewing as a peacetime job.

I don't suppose you know what year she was born of her father's name?
