A popular Leeds pub dating back to the 19th century has been given protected status as part of a project to help save rare historic pub interiors.
Whitelock’s Ale House, which is tucked away down an alley in Leeds city centre, has been upgraded to Grade II* by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the advice of Historic England.
The Grade II* status means it is in the top 5.8 percent of protected historic buildings in England and Historic England said that Whitelock’s is one of the best examples of a late-19th century upmarket luncheon bar.
