The Lemon Tree was situated at 854 Leeds Road. This pub was later used as a
bar called The Albion Sports Bar, which has also now closed and been
replaced by The Double Apple Cafe. |

In the 80s
The Lemon Tree waz an amazing multicultural pub. Run by sikhs with beer
loving sikh customers many of them bus drivers. Murals of impossibly big
breasted dusky maidens in flowing robes ploughing with buffalos on the
walls. Lots of white drinkers like me who enjoy the slightly mad armosphere.
The old sikh next to you speaking in punjabi is apparently a freedom fighter
who blew up British troop trains in the run up to Indian independence. And
through the back door (so the nosy Iman in the mosque across the road cant
see them) come the Muslim lads desperate for a pint of ale and the free
banter. Sikhs are the Irish of India, serious good fun and help those from
more repressive cultures enjoy life. |
