CITY SQUARE AND BOAR LANE

 We're still in central Leeds and right outside the railway station is City Square. Here's part of it in 2021.

Much earlier in time - Ice cream anyone?

Here are a few more photos of City Square taken in the 1930s, '40s or '50s.

An old Ledgard's Leyland is seen in City Square.

Quickstep was a short-lived operator.

Four Seasons didn't last too long either (Richard Huggins).

Firstbus is the main operator these days.

There's some new electric buses too.

Arriva is one of several other companies to pass through City Square.

This is where we're heading in a minute, along Boar Lane, but first we must "hang a right" down Bishopsgate Street.

That's where we find the Scarborough Hotel.

Across the road, the Princess of Wales changed its sex. It's since become the Moot Hall Arms.

Opposite is the Head of Steam.

Around the corner, we're back in Boar Lane. It's 1908 and the King is expected.

Boar Lane has always been a busy thoroughfare.

Into the 1920s.

And now, the 1930s.

In the 1980s, West Riding buses ran along Boar Lane, some in West Yorkshire PTE livery.

Today, Firstbus is dominant.

Other operators along Boar Lane include Arriva, Connexions and Yorkshire Tiger.

A must visit along Boar Lane is this brewpub, Tapped Leeds. The pizzas are good too.

The Griffin is a Greene King pub that has guest beers.

A fairly new establishment is the Banker's Cat, a pub serving Thornbridge beers.

Down one of the side streets is the Brewery Tap.

Also just off Boar Lane, we have Friends of Ham.

It's much extended now, but here's the bar in 2012.

Finally, a proper boozer that is sadly missed. The Whip was down an alleyway off Boar Lane.

Next time, we'll take a look around the Parish Church area.
