Description: | 5th November 1963
New Peacock Inn, adjacent to Elland Road Football Ground. Large painted wall sign advertises BYB beer (Bentley's Yorkshire Brewery). This public house was demolished to provide part of the route for junction 2 of the M621, roundabout and Stadium Way. The 'New' Peacock closed in 1974, the landlord and landlady at the time were Sammy and Betty Redmond. They were expecting to become tenants of the New Inn at Churwell, but the brewery gave it instead to footballing hero John Charles. The disappointed couple became managers of the Old Peacock which was situted 300 yards away on the opposite side of the road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Elland Road New Peacock Inn | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
