They focus on the watering holes which will be remembered by generations of residents in Harehills, Gipton, Roundhay and Oakwood. This gallery features pubs from down the decades all of which provided a warm welcome in LS8 before shutting their doors for good and in many cases then being demolished. Did you drink in any of these down the years? READ MORE: The Gaiety - Memories of a loved and lost Leeds pub LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?

5. Harehills
The Fforde Grene was built in 1938 and for many years was one of Leeds’s main music venues. By the early years of the 21st century its reputation had nosedived as it became a magnet for anti-social behaviour. It closed for good following a drugs raid in 2004 and three years later came the announcement that it was being turned into a supermarket. | Tony Johnson Photo: Tony Johnson
