I remember When Fred Pickup first returned from OZ in the early 70s I saw him working behind the bar in the Ostler's. |

Big fire at the Rising Pub on Kirkstall Road this morning. More than half a dozen fire engines in attendance. It stopped being a pub a few years back and is now a second hand furniture store, but the building itself is listed. The top two floors looked pretty well done for, so I wonder if this will be the end of it.

For me that is a shock,as a Leeds lad who has not lived in the string of beads for twenty years many of those pubs bring back happy memories. And one or two unhappy memories, apart from visiting headingley if I have a drink in Leeds it's always the white locks.
I hope and presume that this watering hole will never close. Fortunately thanks to Sam smiths there is still some decent pubs in my part of the world.

Fred Pickup, one of the best leg tacklers I have seen, he used to tackle just above ankle height .
I may be wrong but if memory serves me well he was South African. |

Great photo. I was always fascinated by that tracked crane when i was a child. Shame they got rid of it and couldn't have worked it into the redevelopment down there

Apologies you are correct , I got him mixed up with Lou Neuman who was the supreme leg tackler, and South African .
About that time several top players were brought over from South African rugby union, van vollenhoven was probably the most famous.
Both trinity and Wigan with saints seemed to be the magnet for most of the top players . We had a winger called wilf Rosenberg . Not certain of his skills but I think he played a fair number of games. |

Not sure if everyone will be able to access this but have a look at this ...

The whole of the UK being aerial photographed in 1951 (examples of Leeds shown) and then filed away and forgotten, only to then be marked for shredding as "not important".

The detail on them is incredible, if you read the comments only the Leeds and Bradford photos survived, the whole of the rest of the country's photos were trashed even after being offered to various government and local government departments. |

Seen these excellent photos yesterday on Leedsface or Leedsbook.
rlUsing this linkrl and zooming in will help in discovering the names of the streets on those 1951 photos which are now demolished. |

I just clicked randomly on the 1910 map and zoomed in - straight to Queens Road School 
So, I'm going to mention something that caused all sorts of bother among amateur historians the last time that I mentioned it on the web, but I still insist that I remember when some building work was going on behind the University in the early 1960s, maybe 64/65, and they uncovered an old plague burial site, I remember this only because the number 33 bus went past the place and through some buildings you could see canvas screens that they'd erected to exhume the bones - the YEP reported it all and I'm certain I didn't dream it up but all sorts of arguments kicked off the last time I mentioned it 
Anyone else got any recollection ? |
