Woodes (The Woodsman for McLaren Field)
Pub with wooden features, simlar sort of alcohol you would fine anywhere else





Wrong - The Woodman is its correct name, or as it was also called, "The Busmans Pub" in the days when even LCT bus drivers enjoyed a tipple whilst working.

I'll give you an insight into what lager is ...

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a problem with beer, there's something in it that gives me humongous hangovers, usually half an hour after starting to drink it, which is a shame because I love a pint of "proper" beer, but the more "proper" it is the worse it makes me.

Lager does not have that effect at all, ever.

I can drink bottled lager like pop, especially the contents of that Aladdin Sane's fridge.

It's not like Beerwhich can vary wildly in relation to quality, taste and flavour.


In general yes, but you can't say that a pint of fizzy pi$$ like Carling is comparable to something like Grolsch or Peroni. Taste wise they are far nicer, and with a premium stregth lager you probably get more drunk for you money.

They did, on the right hand side as you walked in the door was the busmans "snug", it oculd be quite disconcerting to be sat on the bus outside the depot and then see a driver and conductor come out of The Woodman and get on your bus :lol:

And another thing - the conductors never had any change after the Woodman stop, but the Woodman always had loads of pennies and tuppences :lol:

Being from Leeds and goint to Leeds University I got the best of many worlds. Little Park was our favourite pub -we lived just around the corner anyway.
The Faversham was interesting because a theology student called Ursula always got her baps out after 9pm. She was one of those fast an loose young ladies that I never had a chance with, mainly because those types were all being "graded" by their lecturers (as was Ursula).

As for them pubs, Miners is not far from me, not that I go in that often; Cellar Bar is an infrequent, yet appreciated, haunt; and The West Riding is the pub I'm in more than any other, so it's a small world, etc, etc.

The others in West Yorks I've not done, but it sounds like a good day out does that one, might have to give it a go at some point.


Miners was my local from the age of 14 to 21 as I was born and raised on the croft houses down the back. used to play for the miners saturday team now and again under many a name. Agreed though it is cr4p now. we have thought of walking down the road to the Rock but its not much better.

It is a good day but it needs pace and good timing. certain pubs are classed as rattle pubs as between trains you have all of 20 minutes to rattle down your pint

This is like all our yesterdays, as when we first moved to Morley I was on New Bank Street, near the steps down onto Station Road.

The Rock was good until a couple of years ago, when they changed landlord. It's always been that way in my experience, varying from good to bad every couple of years. At the minute, I'm of the view there's no decent pubs in Morley.
