Wow. Bet the signwriter was rubbing his hands in glee when he got that job! What's the most common name of pubs in Leeds then? There's only one Red Lion, if you don't count the Old Red Lion.
Probably the New Inn with twelve [many gone] or the Crown with seven [also, many gone]. Third place could well go to the Wellington with six followed by the White Horse & Cricketer's Arms with five each.
The New Inn in Yeadon was my very local - just across the road. Now I live ten minutes walk from the New Inn in Farsley, but I wouldn't go there, despite it finally getting some cask ales on again.
