The pub that actually bears the name of the district, the premises now being occupied by “Badboy Burgers”.
The Spring Close
A small backstreet pub, still in Tetley’s livery, which was one of the last pubs to close in the East Leeds area of Cross Green. Note the horse grazing on the adjacent patch of waste ground on the StreetView image.
The Hampton
Another from the Cross Green area of East Leeds, this is a white-painted Victorian pub at right angles to the road in the shadow of a block of modern flats.
The Yew Tree
Another in the Cross Green area of East Leeds, a white-painted pub with a single-storey extension at the front.
The Bridgefield Hotel
This is the first in a series of pubs in the East Leeds area of Cross Green submitted by local reader Kyle Reed. In recent years the area has been completely denuded of its pubs. There are some memories of better days here. It is an impressive triangular inter-wars pub with stone detailing on the facade.
The Shawes Arms
An old pub in an attractive situation next to the bridge taking London Road over the River Ribble. After several years of closure, it is now going to be converted to an eatery.
The Squinting Cat
Another characteristic post-war pub on the Swarcliffe estate on the eastern side of the city, fronted by an enormous car park. The image dates back to 2012 – it has since been replaced with, you’ve guessed it, flats.
The Royal George
This modern pub at the north end of the main street of this small Shropshire town has now been converted into a Co-op convenience store. Earlier images on StreetView show it still open as a pub.
The Crown
A distinctive pub in the angle of two roads on the south-east edge of the city centre close to the Royal Armouries museum, which has been closed for many years. It stands in the shadow of an angular modern office building.
The Golden Lion Royal
A stone-built former two-star hotel in a back street in this rather dour little Welsh market town.

The Omnibus
An unusually austere-looking 1950s pub on the giant Middleton estate on the southern side of the city, now planned for conversion to a care home.
The Royal Hunt
A small white-painted pub in a leafy suburban setting close to the famous racecourse.
