Most of the pub is made from a converted river barge called the Lambda, which was relocated here following its retirement. This is usually the final pub of the Otley Run, and so this is the end of our tour.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/45-leeds-beckett.jpgLeeds Beckett University’s Leslie Silver Building stands opposite the Dry Dock. To the left is the student union, once a popular final destination for Otley Runners, and remembered by 90s students as the home of the Poly Bop.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/44-old-broadcasting-house.jpgOld Broadcasting House, now owned by Leeds Beckett, was previously the home of the BBC’s Leeds studios. The blue plaque notes that it was originally the Carlton Hill Friends Meeting House, used by Quakers.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/43-louis-le-prince.jpgThis blue plaque at Broadcasting Place commemorates cinematography pioneer Louis Le Prince. You can see his historic first film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTlXaqG4VyEhttps://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/42-broadcasting-place.jpgBroadcasting Tower, looking down on Broadcasting Place, is another distinctive Leeds landmark, and one of the tallest buildings in the city. Broadcasting Tower serves as accommodation for students of Leeds Beckett University, which uses Broadcasting Place for teaching and offices.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/40-41-fenton-strawbs.jpgThe Fenton and the tiny Strawbs Bar, also known as Strawberryfields, stand together at the southern edge of the University of Leeds campus. The sign on the Fenton’s wall is a reminder of the Tetley brewery which once dominated the city’s pub industry. At one time the Otley Run was entirely made up of Tetley pubs.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/39-8-blenheim-terrace.jpgBlenheim Terrace has another blue plaque, at number 8. The influential Leeds Arts Club met here from 1908.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/38-18-blenheim-terrace.jpgThe final stretch of the Otley Run passes by a number of Leeds Civic Trust blue plaques. This one at 18 Blenheim Terrace marks the site of the Yorkshire Ladies’ Council of Education, founded in 1876 to promote the education of women and girls. The building is now part of the University of Leeds.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/37-leeds-arts-university.jpgLeeds Arts University on Blenheim Walk is the newest of the city’s four universities. It gained university status in 2017, having previously been Leeds College of Art.https://anotleyrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/35-parkinson-building.jpgThe Parkinson Building is one of Leeds’ most distinctive buildings, thanks to its tall clock tower which can be seen for miles around. It houses the university’s art gallery, which is open to the public.2018-11-06T16:37:35+00:00weekly0.6https://anotleyrun.com/the-pub-crawl/map/2018-11-05T16:38:20+00:00weekly0.6https://anotleyrun.comdaily1.02024-07-22T11:03:32+00:00
