I used to live in Leeds back in the early 70s but moved to the US in
1979. I sure miss the beer, especially Timothy Taylor at the Ferrand
Arms in Bingley, Tetley at a pub with only gas (no electricity) in
Wakefield (they served it flat) and various other outlets around the
country.

Part of my honeymoon (with my US wife) was spent in Yorkshire.
Whitby, Robin's Hood Bay, York and Howarth.

The Box Tree looks just like it did back then and is still a high end
restaurant. (Cost me a fortune back then.)
