Kutters, Church Lane, Pudsey

Formerly known just as "The Barber's Shop", it changed its name in 2021 (I know, as my wife gets her hair cut here). To the left in the row are a greetings card shop, charity shop and betting shop.

House with a defibrillator, Chapeltown, Pudsey

It would be unusual for a private house to have a public defibrillator on the outside, so it may be that the building is publicly or charitably owned.

The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey

One of CAMRA's heritage pubs (see shared description). Since 2016 the inn sign SE2233 : The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey has been replaced with a new one in silhouette, more a representation of a chess knight than an actual horse.

The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey - front bar

This is the most unaltered room in the pub. According to CAMRA it was refurbished by Tetley's in 1938 and the moquette seating dates from that time. The trophies are those of a local rugby club. See SE2233 : The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey for the outside.

The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey - front bar seating

This is the most unaltered room in the pub. According to CAMRA it was refurbished by Tetley's in 1938 and the seating dates from that time, although I expect the moquette covers have been replaced more than once in 84 years. See SE2233 : The White Horse, Hough Side Road, Pudsey for the outside.
