Description: 1st January 2010. View of Town Street looking north-west from the junction with Wortley Road. The Barleycorn public house, which has closed down, is in the centre adjoined with two other vacant premises displaying 'For Sale' notices. On the right is the Christadelphian Hall.

If it's the first option, then I don't understand why this kind of thing is allowed...developers & the local authorities should hang their heads in shame.01/12/2010 Date: 02-Dec-2010 Email: a.n.hubbard@ntlworld.com ________________________________________________________________________________ Name: Sheila Jubb Comment: The last I heard about the Barleycorn was that planning permission was being sought to turn it into flats. Whether permission was granted I do not know. I suppose it would be better if it was converted to flats; at least we would still retain the building and, therefore, prevent any more of old Armley being demolished. Just left as it is the building is only going to deteriorate and possibly suffer from the actions of vandals.
