These photos raise a glass to the community pubs we have lost in Leeds 9.

They focus on the watering holes which will be remembered by generations of drinkers in Burmantofts, Cross Green, East End Park, Gipton, Harehills, Mabgate, Osmondthorpe and Richmond Hill. This gallery features 21 pubs from down the decades all of which provided a warm welcome in LS9 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 story of the Leeds city centre character known as 'Woodbine Lizzie' LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?

The Woodpecker Inn originally stood on the junction with York Road and Burmantofts Street. It was closed and demolished in 1939 with a new Woodpecker built on the opposite corner. It welcomed drinkers for generations and gave its name to the busy junction which drove motorists to distraction for decades. Last orders were called in 1990 as the pub was demolished to make way for the construction of the Quarry Hill road junction.
