Pubs on the Wicker. Friday night pub crawls

Recommended Posts

Pubs on the Wicker. Friday night pub crawls.

 

With mates, or sometimes solo I would trawl through the pubs on the Wicker on some Friday and Saturday neets, in the early to mid 70's. I remember;

 

Brown Cow - Stones

Bull and Oak - Whitbread

Station Hotel - Tetley

Viaduct - Tetley

New White Lion - Tetley

(and a) Big Gun - Stones to shoot 'em with.

 

Have also been in other pubs in the general area:-

 

Harlequin - Wards - Johnson Street

Lion Hotel (Black Lion) - Tetley - Nursery Street

Hare and Hounds - Stones? - Nursery Street

Manchester Hotel - Wards - Nursery Street

Brown Cow - Wards - Mowbray Street

Bull and Mouth - Tetley - Waingate.

 

Didn't know about the Planters Bar at the Royal Victoria Hotel. If I would have known I would have done that one too! Well done big gun boy, top man. P.S. Which beer did they do?

I think that was called the Red Lion because in the war we went into the cellars there when the air raid sirens went off.We lived just off the wicker.

Me too. When it was like this. What's happened to the Wicker pubs is a disgrace to the city.

Yes went in the "hole in the wall" or Wicker Brewery to give it its proper name for the after hours drinking,at one time.
