In 1822 Joshua Tetley began brewing in the Holbeck area of Leeds, by 1840 Tetley & Sons was the biggest brewer in Leeds and by 1851 was probably the biggest in Yorkshire. At the end of the 19th century Tetleys employed as many people as the major Burton brewers such as Worthington or Ind Coope. In the 20th century Tetleys had a variety of owners but brewing continued in Leeds. On the 17th June 2011 this will come to an end when current owners Carlsberg close the Leeds brewery.
On the 4th June some of the workers at Tetleys held their final pub crawl of Leeds calling at The Templars, Palace, Victoria, Horse & Trumpet and the Scarborough. Here are some pictures taken in the Scarborough of the occasion.Attachment 557Attachment 558Attachment 559Attachment 560Attachment 561Attachment 562Attachment 563
