The Dog & Gun

The Dog & Gun, Leeds, Yorkshire

A large piub on the A64 York Road to the east of the city centre, that once had a boxing gym upstairs. In the mid-2010s it was turned into a supermarket, as shown, but this in its turn did not prove successful, and it was later demolished and redeveloped as flats.

The Queen

The Queen, Leeds, Yorkshire

A large and ornate Victorian former Tetley pub on the Burley Road to the west of the city. It closed around 2008 and was later converted to a Tesco Express.

The Lundwood

The Lundwood, Barnsley, Yorkshire

A monumental inter-wars John Smith’s pub on the north-east side of the town, that was known locally as “The Big Boozer” or “The Club”. It was demolished in 2011 shortly after the StreetView image was taken, and has now been replaced by what looks like sheltered accommodation.

The Crimea Tavern

The Crimea Tavern, Castleford, Yorkshire

A distinctive Victorian red-brick pub with an arched frontage, across the road from the River Aire on the north side of the town centre. It has been closed since 2009, and planning permission has now been granted for its demolition.

The Dearne Hotel

The Dearne Hotel, Bolton upon Dearne, Yorkshire

A large, rather plain brick-built inter-wars estate pub in a former coal-mining area. It has since been demolished and replaced by flats.

The Far Lees

The Far Lees, Sheffield, Yorkshire

A characteristic post-war estate-style pub on the south side of the city. It closed around 2008 and the building is now used as a convenience store.

The Travellers Inn

The Travellers Inn, Sheffield, Yorkshire

An unusual tall, narrow, free-standing pub on the Attercliffe Road on the north-east of the city. StreetView shows that it was demolished between November 2020 and October 2022

The Thornhill Arms

The Thornhill Arms, Stanningley, Yorkshire

A four-square roadside pub in the western suburbs of Leeds that is now used as a furniture shop.

The Fforde Grene

The Fforde Grene, Leeds, Yorkshire

An imposing pub in the angle of two roads in the Harehills district on the north side of the city. It closed in 2004 and has served for many years as an ethnic supermarket. It had a colourful history that even merits its own Wikipedia page. Its patrons were reportedly the inspiration for Chumbawamba's song “Tubthumping.”

The Horse & Farrier

The Horse & Farrier, Bradford, Yorkshire

An unprepossessing modern pub that never reopened after lockdown, and is now used as a place of worship.

The Red House

The Red House, Bradford, Yorkshire

A pebble-dashed street-corner pub in a run-down area on the east side of the city, which has since been demolished. Apparently behind its unprepossessing facade it had an unspoilt Victorian interior.

The Gallopers

The Gallopers, Bradford, Yorkshire

A modern pub on the dual-carriageway Wakefield Road on the south-east side of the city. It was demolished in 2020, but nothing has yet been built on the site.

The Green Man

The Green Man, Bradford, Yorkshire

A large stone-built pub on the Otley Road on the north-eastern side of the city, still bearing Tetley’s signage but most recently owned by Greene King. It closed around 2018 and now appears to be undergoing conversion to some kind of alternative use.

The Prince Arthur

The Prince Arthur, Leeds, Yorkshire

A redbrick Tetley’s pub on the north side of the city centre, which is believed to have closed in the late 1990s, but remained derelict for about a decade before demolition. Apparently it had a bad reputation with frequent brawls occurring. The site is now a vacant lot following the demolition of a retail building erected after the pub itself was demolished.

The Mountain Ash

The Mountain Ash, Bradford, Yorkshire

A post-war estate pub in the Allerton district on the west side of the city, set above the main road with no direct access from it. It closed in 2008 and has since been demolished, but nothing has yet been built on the site to replace it.

The Cricketers Arms

The Cricketers Arms, Keighley, Yorkshire

A tiny terraced pub located in a rundown area on the east side of the town centre, which closed permanently in March 2022.

The Old King’s Head

The Old King’s Head, Bradford, Yorkshire

An old stone-built pub on the west side of the city on the edge of the built-up area. The sign on the 2009 StreetView image says “Residential Development Opportunity”; it has since been demolished, but nothing built in its place.

The Cap & Bells

The Cap & Bells, Bradford, Yorkshire

A postwar pub in John Smith’s livery on the notorious Buttershaw estate on the south-west side of the city, caught by StreetView on a gloomy October day in 2012. It has since been demolished and replaced by a medical centre.

The Lilycroft

The Lilycroft, Bradford, Yorkshire

A modern estate-style pub in the shadow of the giant Manningham Mills, one of the largest in Britain. It is now given over to variety of non-pub businesses. The building immediately in front of the mill is the “Pile Pub”, also long since closed, which is believed to have been a social club for mill workers.

The Old Red Lion

The Old Red Lion, Leeds, Yorkshire

An attractive old pub on the now-bypassed former main road towards York, which has been closed down by the police due to the level of antisocial behaviour, possibly stemming from the neighbouring estate.
