Tetley Pub Hunt

[@markscott9909]

We did all of them. Great fun. The t-shirts lasted literally one wash before shrinking to minute size.

We used to get most of our cards done in 1 day/night in eastend park. Bridgefield, cross green, fishermans hut, black dog, the spring close waterloo, the smiths, the hampton, the richmond, the slipp inn. Great times and many many other groups participating. Always a good topic for discissions and comparing cards 😂

Me too.

What an excellent social history video about Leeds - more like this please!

I remember pub crawls in Hunslet. When the terraced houses were demolished, and before Leek Street Flats were built, only the pubs remained, like remnants of rotting teeth in aged gums. It was possible to walk/stagger directly from pub-to-pub, over demolition rubble. Those old pubs still had spitoons, and decanted the overflow trays back into glasses. I enjoyed the experience of crawls with friends, but I do not think I'd now appreciate the low quality and service of those dumps. I think I remember the Whore & Strumpet from the early '70s. We would oscillate between that and the Three Legs (might be wrong - memory is poor).

I completed two separate ones. Happy days.

We completed a couple of Tetley pub hunts, all the pubs in Holbeck, and a lot in Beeston are all gone now.

From the haddon hall to kirkstall road red bus to otley then sing song home with half of your card stamped different world then

[@rodneyhull9764]

seem to remember women only had to buy a half to get a stamp?

[@rachelwalker7091]

Thanks for the memories. We completed 2 pub hunts. One in Leeds visiting most of the pubs featured. The second we did further afield using trains. On one occasion we missed the last train back from Bingley. Jumped on the first available bus back to Leeds. Fun times.

Stopped watching when the pubs were based in Turdtown Leeds.

Another thing Tetley did to promote their pubs during the 80s was to sponsor a troupe at the Leeds West Indian Carnival. They became The Tetley Crew. Oddly enough one of their members was a teetotaler. When the sponsorship ended they became the Cockspur Crew sponsored by Cockspur Rum.

Brilliant idea. My pub run back in the day was from Leeds parish church..we then went up past where howarth timber use to be And would eventually come out at the side of york road .It was a well known pub run back in the day..many of the pubs now gone unfortunately.

Grew up in Tetley' pubs, Dad was the landlord of 2 Tetley pubs in Sheffield. We have family friends to this day that only came in our pubs due to the Pub Hunt, but became regulars due to Dad running good pubs. This takes me back. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for commenting. There is a completed pub hunt card from Sheffield on the internet - might be of interest to you?

[@Peter-MH]

Very interesting!

[@oakencloughbuildings615]

Thank you so much for doing this. For some reason it came up on my you tube feed. As a West Leeds Boy. There is not a pub on this list i have not been in , so many memories so many good times. I have not lived in Leeds for a long time , but this certainly brought back so many memories of my youth and good times gone by. Thank you. thank you .thank you, you have made my day!

Great work. Well done! Memories fom the days of the Cavalier Steakhouses: The Brown Cow( Whitkirk) Woodside Tavern( Horsforth,) Queenswood Arms( Adel) Deer Park ( Roundhay) to name a few. Hands up who went to Dick Hudson's in the back of beyond( if you were from Leeds) for a stamp?😀

I did the tetley beer hunt,from wetherby, had to use my imagination, travelled to Thorner anywhere local,felt like giving up but I had a drinking buddy with car so managed to finish it& got the tee shirt, only did it once,it felt tacky once the novelty war off.though I once did something similar with the Yorkshire Post they offered a free half pint in a royal themed tetley pub if you bought the paper & cut the coupon out,my mate & I went around leeds news agents & got old news papers they couldn't sell.i seem to recall we got 11 unsold papers inside the train station for free,needless to say we both got shit faced for free on tetley beer we had about 11pints each ,that was a cheap night out,we got the odd funny look,but it was all legit & above board.you only had one night to use the coupons,I seemed to recall there was 8 or 9 royal themed named pubs.well worth it..

[@philnewton-england7795]

What a great interesting video. I couldn't believe the distances between the pubs. Great to see so many close to where I live in Armley.

[@davidwainwright2816]

Great memories…. But the T shirts were crap 🎉

[@colinbailey75]

remember doing the Tetley pubs in the 1980s but none of the Leeds ones mentioned...I seem to recall there was a weighting depending on the remoteness of the individual pub.....so the ones in Leeds city centre only had a one pint weighting...but where we lived in the upper Calder Valley they were much further apart & were given 2 pint or even 3 pint weightings...

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks for adding that Colin

[@nigelbarker4135]
