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.

A bar and music venue in the former Conservative Club, see also SE2132 : Former Conservative Club, Chapeltown, Pudsey. There are actually ten steps at the entrance.

New building going up on the site of Victoria Mills

This field north of Bramley station and east of Swinnow Road was formerly the site of Victoria woollen mills. The mills were demolished some time before 2002 but the site is only now being built on. The form of construction - precast concrete panel walls - suggests an industrial use.

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.
