It was badly burnt in a fire last year, had it re-opened or had you just not been past it since before the fire?Sounds like its been abandoned pending 'demolition as its unsafe' and eventual redevelopment. http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... -1-5662617 Story from last year

there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

That's odd. I've wandered those pubs hundreds of times over the years and would add the Hope, Hampton, Eagle, Slip, Shepherd, etc. but I have no recollection of a Robin Hood in that area. Where was it? Is age-related memory loss finally getting a grip on me?

Leodis has pictures of one in Hunslet in the 60s and one due to be part of the East Street Improvement Scheme in the early 1900s (1906). The improvement presumably involved clearance and I suspect the Hunslet one will have gone in clearances of the late 60s early 70s that led to Hunslet Grange/Leak Street

Activity at the former North Leeds club today.Doors open and workmen erecting security fencing around site.Don't recall seeing any planning app though
Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.90% of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.

There was a Robin Hood in East Leeds but it would have been beyond the living memory of any of us here.It stood at the junction of Timber Place and Cross Green Lane, at the end of East Street. A Ramsden's house the license was allowed to lapse at the beginning of 1906 in advance of the Corporation's street improvements. Unlike other schemes [Quarry Hill] there is no record of the freeholder, leaseholder & or licensees receiving any compensation.Leodis has a photo of the premises.

The Hare and Hounds at West Ardsley is closed and has a builder's sign outside. I used to live in West Ardsley, in those days the Hare was one of the few pubs that had kept its handpumps and as a result was in one of the first national Good Beer Guides. The last time I was in there - about three years ago - the handpumps were gone and there was only "Smooth" muck.
