leodis pic of the Eagle in 1962 - Sam Smith's at that time.The little shop to the right of the bay window was a Tailor's shop at this time - if you compare with the 2007 pic you can see the alteration to the building and it is now part of the pub.

I was just about to post I remember the eagle as having a white exterior. I thought it was memory playing tricks until you posted the leodis version

I used to go to the Eagle a lot in the early 90s - they used to have good live bands on, and with the New Roscoe and the Regent it made up quite a decent little pub rock scene.Les Moon was the landlord then, a top bloke who used to have the Duck and Drake before that, if I remember rightly (the Duck was a good music pub then too).Anyone know what happened to Les after the Eagle?

The Three Hulats on Harrogate Road. This used to be called the Mexboruogh Arms, I understand a 'Hulat' means 'Owlet' and their are 3 of these on the coat-of-arms of the Mexborough family.A pub with a fascinating history.Sorry cant post the pic - the uploading systemsays its too big - it isn't but there's no reasoning with it!!!I'll put it on flickr

I think I've got one of those cards somewhere.I just need it stamping in the Precinct,The Black Lion,The King Charles and the Market Tavern...

Surely we have to include Whitelocks! I know it's been mentioned in other threads but if ever a pub was worth celebrating...I called in yesterday and it looked as though they'd just finished polishing the copper bar top and drip trays-a unique feature in itself.
