Pub Preservation
Leeds Heritage Pubs
Out of approximately 650 pubs in the Leeds Metropolitan District there are now
only 21 that can be said to retain any degree of original interiors. Public
houses have suffered from conversion and alterations in varying degrees over
many years, often ruining fine original interiors for short term fashion
reasons. However the numbers that survive are good examples of British
traditional pubs.
There are a number of pubs in the city that are Statutorily Listed, however by
no means all have anything like there original interiors. Up to the mid 1990’s
pubs tended to be listed as buildings in a streetscape rather than a particular
type of building, or for any surviving interior and few past 1875. The Skyrack
in Headingley for example is listed but has been altered countless times inside
and is merely a facade. From around 1994 English Heritage with advice from
CAMRA began to take an interest in the interiors for the first time. This
resulted in a number of pubs with fine unspoilt interiors being listed, which
had hitherto been missed.
Throughout the country CAMRA has identified the surviving important pub
interiors. These have been compiled into a “National Inventory” (NI) of
historic pub interiors. Other pubs which have seen some alteration but still
retain important heritage interiors form the “Regional Inventory” (RI),
currently being compiled for regions across the UK.
Full details of all the NI heritage pubs in the UK can be found on the CAMRA
heritage pub website.
Important Historic Pubs in Leeds
Leeds is fortunate in having six pubs in the National Inventory, more than many
other areas. These tend to be from the age of Leeds’s great expansion and also
of pub building, the late Victorian and Edwardian era. There is also a fine
example of inter-war design.
N.I. Pubs-
ADELPHI, 3-5 Hunslet Rd., Leeds Bridge, Leeds LS10 1JQ
Built in 1901 and designed by Thomas Winn (see also Cardigan Arms and Rising
Sun). An ornate multi-roomed pub with fine etched glass, Mahogany screens and
Terrazzo floors.
BEECH, 8 Tong Rd., Lower Wortley, Leeds LS12 1HX.
Designer by Garside and Pennington for Melbourne Brewery of Leeds in 1931, when
the existing pub was rebuilt and enlarged. The pub has a fine little altered
interior (as well as exterior) of the period.
CARDIGAN ARMS, 364 Kirkstall Rd., Burley, Leeds LS4 2HQ. (Corner of Greenhow
Rd. Opposite retail park)
Designed by Thomas Winn and erected in 1896 for a private owner. The pub
largely retains it’s Victorian interior of multi-roomed layout with original
glass, tiling and wood screens. The remains of the pub’s former tower brewery
still exist at the rear.
GARDEN GATE, 3 Whitfield Place, Hunslet, Leeds LS10 2QB
Purpose built in 1902 for a private owner and designed by W. Mason Coggill, a
Stourton Architect. Possibly the finest surviving pub in Leeds, this pub has
magnificent original faience, tiling, etched glass and Mahogany screens. Saved
from demolition in 1972.
RISING SUN, 290 Kirkstall Rd., Burley, Leeds LS4 2DN. (Near the Cardigan Arms)
Designed in 1899 also by Thomas Winn and purpose built for Melbourne Brewery.
It is less flamboyant than other pubs of the period but has original fittings
of fine glass and wood screening.
WHITELOCKS, Turks Head Yard, Briggate, Leeds LS1 6HB.
Probably the most famous Leeds pub. Owned by the Whitelock family since around
1880, the pub was extended and re-modelled in 1895 and the interior has changed
little since then. The pub has a fine ceramic bar, old woodwork and brewery
mirrors creating an atmospheric traditional bar.
Other Heritage Pubs
Leeds has a further fifteen pubs that have substantially original interiors,
although have seen some alteration (In the Yorkshire Regional Inventory).
These range from Edwardian locals (e.g. Kings Arms, Holbeck 1901) through
inter-war re-fits (e.g. Grove, Holbeck 1929 or Templar, Vicar Lane 1927) to war
time pubs (e.g. Hanover, Wortley 1942) and unspoilt country pubs (e.g. Swan,
Bramham c. late 19C). In Gildersome The New Inn (1935) is a fine mostly
original Moderne style pub. The City Varieties, Leeds, contains a small bar
(Stalls Bar) which has original fittings from 1951, but sadly could be removed
in a forthcoming theatre restoration, watch this space.
The Regional Inventory of heritage pubs in yorkshire is currently being
finalised, a provisional list is presently out for consultation. The full
provisional list for Yorkshire can be viewed on the special Yorkshire RI
website.
The list for the Leeds Metropolitan District contains 18 pubs, in addition to
the 6 NI pubs.

PUBS IN PERIL
White Stag
North St., Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AL
A new application has been made to demolish this pub and redevelop the site as
a cash and carry warehouse.
Leeds City Planning No. P/09/01283/FU/C (final date 24th April 2009).
This application is being opposed by CAMRA and The Leeds Civic Trust.
We are now awaiting a decision from the planners regarding this scheme.
This pub on the Regional Inventory, was built in 1932 for Tetley's Brewery of
Leeds and designed by Kitson, Parish, Legard and Pyman. The interior although
simple in design has not been greatly altered since the 1930s and is in largely
original condition. Today this is a rare survivor.
CAMRA had also submitted the White stag for listing by English Heritage because
of its Regional Inventory status. Unfortunately English Heritage have recently
decided the pub is not to be listed.
This is a disappointing decision in the fight to conserve R.I. pubs.
The Spring Close Tavern
Spring Close St, Ellerby Lane, Cross Green, LEEDS LS9 8RT
This small cosy traditional pub is currently under threat from a scheme to
demolish the pub and redevelop the site with flats. A much loved Cross Green
community pub, The Spring Close has in past years appeared several times in
CAMRA's Good Beer Guide although sadly the pub currently does not offer real
ale.
CAMRA feel that The Spring Close should be retained as a fine community pub and
not join the list of pub closures in Cross Green.
A first application in 2008 was withdrawn but in 2009 a new application has
been made
CAMRA opposed this application by Punch Taverns.
Planning Application No. - 08/06527/FU/E
Regretably this application has now been passed, so this pub will now be
re-developed as flats.
Summercross
East Busk lane, Otley LS21 1HE
This pub is currently closed and boarded up after being shut
in October 2007. The original scheme to build flats on the
site was rejected by Planning in 2008. A recent application
has been made to use the site for a care home.
Leeds Planning Application no's.- 08/06122/FU
08/06123/CA
Leeds CAMRA and the Save our Summercoss campaign are fighting this plan, and
want The Summercross returned to a thriving community local once again.
At the plans panel meeting on 19th February 2009 the application to develop the
site as a care home was passed.
The Summercross will now now longer exist.

Important Historic Pubs in Leeds
Leeds is fortunate in having six pubs in the National Inventory, more than many
other areas. These tend to be from the age of Leeds’s great expansion and also
of pub building, the late Victorian and Edwardian era. There is also a fine
example of inter-war design.
N.I. Pubs-
ADELPHI, 3-5 Hunslet Rd., Leeds Bridge, Leeds LS10 1JQ
Built in 1901 and designed by Thomas Winn (see also Cardigan Arms and Rising
Sun). An ornate multi-roomed pub with fine etched glass, Mahogany screens and
Terrazzo floors.
BEECH, 8 Tong Rd., Lower Wortley, Leeds LS12 1HX.
Designer by Garside and Pennington for Melbourne Brewery of Leeds in 1931, when
the existing pub was rebuilt and enlarged. The pub has a fine little altered
interior (as well as exterior) of the period.
CARDIGAN ARMS, 364 Kirkstall Rd., Burley, Leeds LS4 2HQ. (Corner of Greenhow
Rd. Opposite retail park)
Designed by Thomas Winn and erected in 1896 for a private owner. The pub
largely retains it’s Victorian interior of multi-roomed layout with original
glass, tiling and wood screens. The remains of the pub’s former tower brewery
still exist at the rear.
GARDEN GATE, 3 Whitfield Place, Hunslet, Leeds LS10 2QB
Purpose built in 1902 for a private owner and designed by W. Mason Coggill, a
Stourton Architect. Possibly the finest surviving pub in Leeds, this pub has
magnificent original faience, tiling, etched glass and Mahogany screens. Saved
from demolition in 1972.
RISING SUN, 290 Kirkstall Rd., Burley, Leeds LS4 2DN. (Near the Cardigan Arms)
Designed in 1899 also by Thomas Winn and purpose built for Melbourne Brewery.
It is less flamboyant than other pubs of the period but has original fittings
of fine glass and wood screening.
WHITELOCKS, Turks Head Yard, Briggate, Leeds LS1 6HB.
Probably the most famous Leeds pub. Owned by the Whitelock family since around
1880, the pub was extended and re-modelled in 1895 and the interior has changed
little since then. The pub has a fine ceramic bar, old woodwork and brewery
mirrors creating an atmospheric traditional bar.
Other Heritage Pubs
Leeds has a further fifteen pubs that have substantially original interiors,
although have seen some alteration (In the Yorkshire Regional Inventory).
These range from Edwardian locals (e.g. Kings Arms, Holbeck 1901) through
inter-war re-fits (e.g. Grove, Holbeck 1929 or Templar, Vicar Lane 1927) to war
time pubs (e.g. Hanover, Wortley 1942) and unspoilt country pubs (e.g. Swan,
Bramham c. late 19C). In Gildersome The New Inn (1935) is a fine mostly
original Moderne style pub. The City Varieties, Leeds, contains a small bar
(Stalls Bar) which has original fittings from 1951, but sadly could be removed
in a forthcoming theatre restoration, watch this space.
The Regional Inventory of heritage pubs in yorkshire is currently being
finalised, a provisional list is presently out for consultation. The full
provisional list for Yorkshire can be viewed on the special Yorkshire RI
website.
The list for the Leeds Metropolitan District contains 18 pubs, in addition to
the 6 NI pubs.

PUBS IN PERIL
White Stag
North St., Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AL
A new application has been made to demolish this pub and redevelop the site as
a cash and carry warehouse.
Leeds City Planning No. P/09/01283/FU/C (final date 24th April 2009).
This application is being opposed by CAMRA and The Leeds Civic Trust.
We are now awaiting a decision from the planners regarding this scheme.
This pub on the Regional Inventory, was built in 1932 for Tetley's Brewery of
Leeds and designed by Kitson, Parish, Legard and Pyman. The interior although
simple in design has not been greatly altered since the 1930s and is in largely
original condition. Today this is a rare survivor.
CAMRA had also submitted the White stag for listing by English Heritage because
of its Regional Inventory status. Unfortunately English Heritage have recently
decided the pub is not to be listed.
This is a disappointing decision in the fight to conserve R.I. pubs.
The Spring Close Tavern
Spring Close St, Ellerby Lane, Cross Green, LEEDS LS9 8RT
This small cosy traditional pub is currently under threat from a scheme to
demolish the pub and redevelop the site with flats. A much loved Cross Green
community pub, The Spring Close has in past years appeared several times in
CAMRA's Good Beer Guide although sadly the pub currently does not offer real
ale.
CAMRA feel that The Spring Close should be retained as a fine community pub and
not join the list of pub closures in Cross Green.
A first application in 2008 was withdrawn but in 2009 a new application has
been made
CAMRA opposed this application by Punch Taverns.
Planning Application No. - 08/06527/FU/E
Regretably this application has now been passed, so this pub will now be
re-developed as flats.
Summercross
East Busk lane, Otley LS21 1HE
This pub is currently closed and boarded up after being shut
in October 2007. The original scheme to build flats on the
site was rejected by Planning in 2008. A recent application
has been made to use the site for a care home.
Leeds Planning Application no's.- 08/06122/FU
08/06123/CA
Leeds CAMRA and the Save our Summercoss campaign are fighting this plan, and
want The Summercross returned to a thriving community local once again.
At the plans panel meeting on 19th February 2009 the application to develop the
site as a care home was passed.
The Summercross will now now longer exist.
All plans can be viewed at-
