Chaplins was the one, opposite the shop on the corner with arguably the strangest stock combination, gas fires and swimming trunks!
Seem to remember going to plalce called 'Baccus' round the back by the bowling alley. Bertie Wooster's at the other end with the wonderfully named 'Sin Bin Crew' scrawled on the side (was there for years).

Systems aren't just made of bricks, they're also made of people,
You may send them into hiding but they'll be back again

Hi Mate, we have just joined the Leeds West Riding Cricket League division two - and yes we are interested in hearing from any players looking to join a new club.
PM me or get in touch via the clubs website if you are interested.

No, but it was the late 80's, around the time of my 18th, so my figure was somewhat different to now. Suffice to say, the trunks were a slightly different style to what I'd wear to swim in these days.

Black Dog, Fisherman's Hut, Prospect etc?
Some quality rugby teams used to play out of those pubs as well.
