It's all very well these ambitious building proposals which will utterly transform the district in the coming years, but how about doing something NOW about the prostitute problem in the Water Lane/ Marshall Street area /

Manor Road runs behind City Walk along to where the old LA Bowl place was. this is one of the developments listed on the Holbeck site, and as these start to come on line we'll see a gradual infilling of the old light industrial sites and hopefully it'll become more residential etc. As Fred2 points out, perhaps they'll drive out the ladies of negotiable affections. Not a great sales pitch for the area there really.

We've already had this on the old thread, but while I'm at it, the Igloo development of the second stage of Marshalls Mill has pp and hopefully with get going shortly. the impetus seems to have wained on the construction front, with nothing except BWP going on in Holbeck as yet. this and a couple of the smaller residential element added to Globe Road will put that right team!

The Cross Keys is due to open on Friday 22nd July.

Perhaps now is the time to start thinking of a meet-up whilst the weather is still holding...

I'm back in Leeds early august and always up for a pint of Erdinger!

Fred2 · July 22nd, 2005, 08:29 PM

Cross Keys pub is now open on Water Lane. Quite nice - not bombarded by music as in other places. Plenty of room to sit out at the back in what is King's Court of HUV. Seems to stock only foreign (especially Belgian) beers. I think it will become pretty popular.

jimbo · July 23rd, 2005, 11:02 AM

Well chaps I'm back up in Leeds on the weekend of the 5-7th August to see my parents move out of our family home which we've been in since 1975. will no doubt be needing a beer and will certainly call into the Cross Keys. Anyone around that weekend for a cheeky Belgian beer?

I'm back in Leeds that weekend too. Could be a good chance to get a forum get together. As a recent recruit to the forum it would be good to put some faces to names!

magicrealist · July 25th, 2005, 11:32 AM

Saturday 6th @ 12pm? Leeds play Millwall in the opening game of the season at Elland Road this weekend, but fortunately (on two counts) the game has been moved to Sunday, 12:15 KO AND Millwall fans will be not be there!

Anyone got a link to what they look like?

BTW I was there last Friday evening when it opened and utterly splendid it is too. Hand pulled beer for the CAMRA brigade plus some top-notch draught European beers plus the usual array of fabulous bottled efforts. Bliss! Courtyard is great too when the sun shines! Talking to one of the owners and he told me they were packed out at lunchtime with people queueing down Water Lane!

Mind you, I expect it to be less busy at the weekend perversely. Until a greater density of urbanites are in the area, I expect it to be quiet for a while yet. Still, great place and a fantastic addition to the Round Foundry development.

Smoggie_Si · July 25th, 2005, 01:13 PM

Any chance of making it friday 5th early evening?

I would post a link to what I look like, but don't want to put anyone off their lunch!

The Cross Keys sounds superb, North Bar is one of my faves so I have high expecations. Having said that I was rather disappointed with Angels Source in Chapel Allerton, owned by the chaps behind Oporto, another of my top bars.

I'll also have Oracle to try when I'm back

sadly I've had to turn down an invite to the opening night this friday

Roll on next week!

jimbo · July 25th, 2005, 02:58 PM

I'm back on the Friday night, but kings cross train from London Village doesn't get into Leeds till 2115 (barring unexploded ordenence, broken lines etc).

Saturday (anytime) would be best for me, but I suppose I could come down to X Keys on the Friday as soon as the train gets in.

I've only ever met Ahmedd and and Alphaxion, but they but seem to have stopped posting (maybe its a hint......)

Hopefully Fred2, Mike68, Rob, Molly, Aviator,. Da Bomb and even Leeds No 1 (if he gets his discount bus fair and permission from his Mum) can make it!

Leeds No.1 · July 25th, 2005, 03:26 PM

hehe- I have money (1/2 of which is in euro though)! and a railcard which means I can get to Leeds but to be honest the chances of me getting to Leeds at that time and to the X keys isn't particularly likeley- infact I havent been to Leeds particularly recently, not since I came back from Spain where I just passed through. Thank God for the internet otherwise I wouldnt have a clue what was going on in Leeds. I have noticed, you would be happy to know though, is that general randomers who have no particular interest in Leeds or building are noticing that Leeds is a changing city full of new vibrancy, and that other people who still are not into building but often visit Leeds for the shopping are noticing that its getting better- I was glad to hear that quite a few people were aware of BWP. There are a few though who are a bit dim- in Harrogate you're either someone who goes to York or someone who goes to Leeds. The people who go to York seem to think the stereotypical view of Leeds- full of crime, dirty...etc and think its generally a horrible place and York's a bit posher. I like Leeds much better, probably because its a much more culturally diverse city, and I like multiculturalism. You can go back on topic now!

Disgraceful, wouldn't have happened in my day!

I would love to make the forum meet but I will be too busy checking out the construction of the Burj Dubai and the other delights of Dubai whilst on holiday.

Leeds No.1 · July 26th, 2005, 12:47 PM

From BBC Leeds

Temple Works restoration unveiled

Temple Works is in a regeneration area
Plans have been announced to transform one of Leeds' most unusual buildings into a "cultural retail centre".
A London-based company wants to invest £180m in the Egyptian-style Grade I Temple Works in Holbeck built in 1840.

It proposes to turn the former flax mill into shops but there would also be works of art on display including paintings and sculpture.

Temple Works is based on the Temple of Horus at Edfu and its flat roof was originally covered in grass.

Sound solutions

Chris Hall, from SJS Property Management, said: "Temple Works is a unique piece of world industrial heritage, originally a flax mill covering an area the size of a football pitch, with a clever arrangement of conical sky-lights

"In design terms it was well ahead of its time in providing environmentally sound solutions to the problems of internal lighting and economy of operation. We intend to grass the roof again as part of the restoration plans."

SJS's plans also extend to the surrounding area where they want to build offices, leisure facilities and green spaces.

"We have had prior consultations with local politicians and those responsible for the urban regeneration of Holbeck."

Mr Hall added that a programme of public consultations and information displays would be arranged for people to look at their plans.

Smoggie - can you make it on Saturday sometime or is Friday early evening the only time you are in the area?

Jimbo - any chance of catching an earlier train to get into Leeds for say 7pm?
