Can anyone name the pubs on the east leeds pub run, popular in the 1980s/90s. Used to start at the Waterloo at the bottom of East Street I think. Are any of the pubs still going?

Looking at Farsley (spelled Farlsey) there are a few wronguns. The Oddfellows Hall (of which there are several across the area and have a history all of their own) is Oldfellows Hall. I don't think you could call East a pub by any stretch and there's no Bay Horse or New Inn, unless the criteria is that they've carried Leeds Brewery beers in their time.

Anyone heard of a pub called "The Pineapple Inn" which was situated in Hunslet in 1911?

Looks like a liquidation business as its mentioned in the gazette.. Google the name of the pub and it comes up on Ivory St in Huslet 1800s, looks like a possible bankruptcy
