Nothing to do with Leeds at all so sorry for that but under this title, there may be some who could take interest in the contents of an e-mail recently received - spectacular and an amazing tribute to 'old tech and chemicals' as well as those involved!http://www.flickr.com/photos/chameleon2 ... 743513981/

If it was too busy we used go down the road to the Nags Head. I called into both pubs while on a visit last Summer. The Regent hadn't changed, whereas the Nags Head had (in a big way!!). to be followed, of course, with fish 'n' chips from the chipper on the far side of the Harrogate Road !! Yes it was a great Pub to find a party. I guess we would have been there at the same time.

morleyhall- do you know what happened to the Stirk Bridge Inn in Sowerby Bridge? Passed it and noticed it was closed; heard there's some sort of campaign to try to keep it as a pub?

Another old haunt of mine in the late 70's used to be The Original Oak in Headingley. It springs to mind during this current dry spell. It used be great to have a pint outdoors there at the weekend watching a game of bowling on the bowling green.I returned there a few years back for the first time since then to find it transformed into a beer garden. My memory was shattered!!The other landmark for me in Headingley used to be Salvo's, which is still going strong after over 30 years!! I went there for a meal and was just as impressed as I used to be all those years ago (and I'm not old!).

Have to phone the landlord for permission for photos, but it's got a nice beer garden which'd be great to capture!
