With it being the Sweeney maybe they are going Retro to be "contemporary"

There is a report on page 5 of today's YEP about the coming closure of Tetley's brewery, which is stated in the report is to close on June 17th 2011.

I thought it had already closed. Morrisons have Tetleys Pale at 4.3% It says brewed in Northampton on the label.

Can we get special pumps clips made up with black edging, or will we see "Last Leeds Tetley's on draught" advertised?However I do note that a lot of former Tetley's houses now serve a more interesting collection of ales. Local ones and even those from Masham it seems.Quite why we've not had the same sort of uproar as the "Newcastle Brown Ale" - brewed in Tadcaster. I mean it was bad enough for the Geordies when it moves south of the river (Gateshead!).What's next? Guinness closes Dublin brewery and moves it to Denmark?

One of my great uncles is mentioned on itSomeone needs to take a lead on this, perhaps Leeds Civic Trust could help, we had a similar situation in Hull with the war memorial for workers at the Gas Board Bankside works due for demolition, we approached the local council and got it moved to the garden of remembrance at the local cemetery.
