Description: | 1988
Whitelocks is one of Leeds oldest pubs situated off Briggate in Turks Head Yard. The pub can trace its origins back to 1715 when it first became licensed to sell 'ale and porter'. The pub became known as the Turk's Head around 1784 hence the name of the yard. In 1880 it was bought by Percy Whitelock and became Whitelock's First City Dining Bar. The Whitelock family ran the pub for many years. This was the first place in Leeds to get electric lighting. Although the pub was rebuilt in 1886 it retains many original features and much of the very heart of Leeds atmosphere described by John Betjeman. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Turk's Head Yard Whitelocks | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
