The Fellmonger at Seacroft has been closed for a while, however according to the YEP it has been sold for redevelopment as housing. So, that is the end of another pub.

I used to go there for a pasty when I went to Foxwood, and play football right outside it across North Parkway when I was a kid.

Not a pub, as such but the former Rio’s nightclub, or basement to Heaven and Hell and before that it was known as Ricky’s, at the Merrion Centre is due to be re-opened as a bar called 'The Pit'(!)Handy for the Arena crowds ...http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... -1-5888316

In a previous life, The Globe Inn, Sackville Street-Meanwood Road.The large filled in cellar door opening gives a good clue, otherwise no other evidence showing. http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL

This is not concerning a Leeds pub, but I am sure that many on the forum will agree that the miss-type in the following planning application (page 18 of http://documents.reading.gov.uk/AnitePu ... 284240.pdf ) to turn a historic pub into a "more commercial" profit-making building is probably amazingly accurate:The Granby is vacant, precisely because it was unsuccessful financially and it was not possible to finds a public house operator prepared to buy the property and ruin it as a public house, despite extensive marketing for a prolonged period.
