Just had a quick look whilst sat at the traffic lights coming over the fly-over, looks like the Eagle has Flown....

If its the eagle from the eagle pub off torre road then the eagle is definatley that one at hunslet road car place, i saw it tonight, i drove past it and had a good look. The way its stood and the way its wings are, its identical to the one that was on the eagle pub!!

Yeah i might be able to one night, its behind some railings so wont be the best pic, but still you'll be able to make it out clearly-ish!

You are right about the name change. I used to drink in the Eagle when i was about 17/18 in the mid 90's. The pub was very run down & in need of a refurb. It was refurbished sandblasted etc & re-named the new Eagle. But this did not save the pub from its problems. I remember the landlord running off with the takings & a drug bust when i was mistakenly accused of buying drugs from the front doors of the Eagle by the police.
