Leeds Heritage Pub Guided Tour

Leeds has a rich pub and brewing heritage and this journey takes guests on a 300+ year travel through time.

The tour begins with a visit to The Tetley and the story of Tetley Brewery, one of Britain's largest in its prime.

This is followed by a trip to the Adelphi, a late Victorian-built pub with wonderful original architecture and an opportunity to see how a Leeds-based brewery operated in the 1950s.

The tour then heads on to the Duck and Drake, where guests can join in an activity followed by hearing the history of the pub, first opened in the early 19th century.

Alternative news and views - Leeds Other Paper remembered, Tony Harcup

presented by The Thoresby Society.

Half a century has passed since the birth of Leeds Other Paper, an alternative local newspaper that uncovered many of the city’s less told stories. LOP lasted from 1974 to 1994, during which time it reported on social, political, economic and cultural life in Leeds from an alternative perspective. Run by a co-operative and existing on a shoestring, the paper gave a voice to many individuals and communities who felt ignored, patronised or even demonised by more mainstream media.

Heritage Open Day: A Tale of Two Jameses

Behind the well-known name of St. James’s Hospital lies a story of two dedicated professionals, both called James. Join us to learn more about their lives and legacy.

Between them, Dr James Allan and Mr James Ford devoted decades of their working lives to the welfare of local people, as Medical Superintendent of the Leeds Union Infirmary and Clerk to the Board of Guardians respectively. Both were honoured in the naming of St. James’s Hospital in 1925, but what were their accomplishments and how did they pave the way for the city’s huge medical institution of today?
