Harehills & Lincoln Green make Beeston look like Beverly Hills 😂
Made a note 👍
Cunt. Fuck all wrong with this area. You nobody. 😊
@@honestplaces You'll stand out in Harehills.
@@Robhalifax in a good way? 🤣
Harehills is roughest part of leeds,Beeston I've lived in and was fine I lived in Dewsbury Road opposite winstons massage parlour lol.
Thanks for this. I'm one of the resident DJs at the Spinning Wheel and our landlord Steve has put alot of hard work into the place over the last couple of years. People there are a great bunch
I was there for the fireworks last year, excellent show and nice place with a bit of food on. Don't live nearby enough to make it my local unfortunately.

We need a political party to acknowledge this problem.
Maybe we need a new party called “I don’t want the UK to be a shithole anymore”
Bit long but it gets to the point.
The UK has always been a bit of a shit hole, unfortunately it’s only going to get worse because love ‘em or hate ‘em one of the good things the EU did was provide funding for poor areas. The UK government doesn’t do that, they only invest in area that make money, and are usually already affluent.
How about the ''UKshithole Party (UKSH)'' ?
We already have something going boys. It's called Mega. Make England Great again.
I agree but the invention of a fake pandemic and making people stay at home put high streets in a massive decline and everyone shops online, don't trust and politicians mate even if it's a "UKshithole party".... to add to that as well, the same government has increased business costs 5 fold and made it impossible to start a business.... Britain's richest woman is a bookie owner, ban gambling all together and people might have more money as this is only making the rich richer and poor bugger gambling his savings to try make ends meat is getting poorer. I could carry on for hours but you get the picture 🤣🤣

South Leeds is scruffy and litter is depressing, but the Leeds people are friendly, I lived in Holbeck for ten years in the nineties and noughties and never had any bother, the general dilapidation is a shame, the citizens deserve better
But the citizens are the ones who do the littering. Britain is really vile when it comes to litter.
Citizens deserve better? They should take it into their hands to make it better! Where is the community spirit?
@@DavidCase-ov5uosome of us are. There are regular community litter picks, the Beeston in Bloom group, Friends of Cross Flatts Park, loads of community stuff going on (much of it organised by the local Green Party councillor and activists)... I'm involved with a lot of it. Yes the place is scruffy, there's nowhere near enough greenery, we're surrounded by busy roads and parts of it were badly modernised in the 70s. There isn't a lot of money around either in terms of public / Council facilities or in the hands of local people. What there is is a thriving third sector, lots of charities and voluntary groups filling the holes left by the retreat of Govt. Most people (although struggling) are decent and friendly; unfortunately it's the ones who aren't who attract all the attention and drag the reputation of the place down.
@rich_edwards79 Hi and thanks for reply.
My wife and I are moving to West Yorkshire to be near family
, not getting any younger, so obviously trying to judge the towns there .currently in Reading Berkshire which has its own good and bad points. The rain is warmer! The best shops are away from the town itself,
Best wishes Dave
you know ur in a good spot when ya walk in and otis redding is playing
You know it 👍
Places you go in mate are full of oaps full of 💩
What a friendly bloke you met who told you about the Spinning Wheel
What a genuinely lovely club! Great music!
Love these videos where the daring host takes a walk through a ‘dangerous place’ in the middle of the day to show how brave they are how these places aren’t as bad as made out. One day one of em will be brave enough to go on a Friday or Saturday night. Then see how they get on. 😂
Nothing will happen on either night 100 percent .. Dewsbury road is like a main road out of Leeds ... Absolutely nothing there to cause any issues, them takeaways he belittles and rubbished are run by proper people trying to earn money and deliver a good service and food. The club inside was tidy and clean so explains it all.
It's Poverty Porn
@@stuartgreen9044 couldn’t agree more.
So funny,all the dodgy pubs in britain...visited at 2pm on a tuesday😂😂😂
@@DoncasterACTIONnewsabsolutely. Worst thing about Dewsbury Road is the boy racers roaring up and down (which happens everywhere now) and homeless people begging outside Tesco. Winstons (the 'massage' place) isn't a great thing to have in the community but I've never heard of any trouble there - I suspect because the last thing a place of that nature wants is to draw attention to itself. For every pot smoking, gobby scally with a knockoff Armani tracksuit and an XL bully, there are 10 decent, hardworking ordinary people who just want to get on with life, yet we all get stereotyped as scum by the 'nuke it from orbit' type comments, it gets very old tbh.😅
I was based out of Beeston on a contract for the NHS working in and out of health clinics and doctor's surgeries about seven years back , even though I am from the Northeast and know some rough areas I could not believe the houses had barred gates over the doors and the health clinics had razor wire along with steel shutters on the windows and doors. It was an eye opener for me. We were told never to carry IT kit a long distance but park close to or in the location carpark. I will never forget the day me and another contractor went looking for a chip ship and found a guy half naked lying in his garden smoking a joint ...ha ha happy days
Jeeeez. That is bad, never knew it was that bad!
Beeston/Holbeck has took over as like a ghetto for the working girls and addicts , you have to have your wits about ya , the desperation makes eyes watching you all over the place
sorry about that mate il put some clothes on next time
😂😂
Phil's fish bar and takeaway. You said you would not get a fish from. It's very nice food. It looks like a dive but the food is amazing.
Lived in Beeston up Stratford St in the late 70s and apart from new builds, not much as changed. Did the Spinning Wheel used to be called The New Canning Club?
enjoy watching you just mooching about, keep up the good work, subscribed.
Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍
Who said Dewsbury road was the roughest street in leeds ? Should have tried harehills Lane or Chapeltown road. Good luck finding a pub on them .
Exactly. Looks like he's shitting himself just in Beeston. They'd love him in Harehills or Halton Moor.
Looked like a good pint of the black stuff. Enjoying the video mate. I love wandering into pubs when I'm away somewhere different 👍🇮🇪
Was mate....and cheers, appreciate it. Yeh man, popping into random joints is the one!
@@honestplacesthe Guinness is cheaper there than here in Ireland 😂
The spinning wheel .. drank in it 20 years ago.. Irish landlord at the time. Lovely Guinness back then one of the best I had in the UK
The old Hayfield pub and the Gaiety Bar were great back in the 80s!
Lincoln Green, Harehills, Halton Moor, Gipton, Seacroft, East End Park, Armley, off top of my head are all rougher than Beeston nowadays I'd say. But honestly Leeds isn't rough in general anymore. Not since the 2010s.
A lot of cities in the UK have rough areas but I’m old enough to remember the 1970s and 80s when it was a hell of a lot worse. Also in those days there were no cameras or cctv so it was far easier for thugs to get away with assaults…….stabbings were also far more common in the distant past and many of them went unreported.
Even Armley isn't that bad these days, as long as you stay out of the terraces off Armley Ridge Road or at the back of the leisure centre.
chapeltown
@@wullieg7269some beautiful old houses up there though. Harehills Ave and the bit around the park is very leafy, it used to be the posh part of Leeds where rich Jewish families lived in the late 1800s. It's turned the corner I think, many of those old houses are now getting well overdue renovations.
Beeston (where I've lived, just off Tempest Rd, for 20 years) is like Beverley Hills compared to some of the places on that list. Halton Moor has always been known as 'The Zoo', even the police won't go up there since the friendly locals rioted and set their vehicles alight! Horrible place ruled by absolute scum.
Call Lane at 2am on a Friday is a different breed of rough
Whilst Beeston has it's issues, I felt you really needed to go visit Harehills lane and surrounding streets to find out actual rough streets. I drive through Beeston occasionally and it never seems that bad, get a little in the news every so often same with any place with a huge amount of back to back/terrace where the concentration of people were sqm is high, but Harehills is a whole different level. I did love how friendly and warm
the barmaid seemed, that's us Loiners in general.
Most entertaining squire. Thank you for your time
The edit on this gave me whiplash... The locations and direction of walking changed in every edit 😂
Winstons / Churchills is a Leeds institution, making it safe for s*x workers before the legalised zone closer to town.
(I lived just off Dewsbury Road for 20 years, and as a single female for the last 5 years of that I never felt unsafe at any time). I no longer live there, but appreciate this video taking me back.
Love your collar tattoos, mate. They're wicked.
These are great little vids man, you’re showing me places I’ll probably never see in person lmao
Brown hare, harehills lane, then to White horse on York Road and on to the Wykebeck Arms. Eye opener of a day! I'd happily join you!
White horse isn’t too bad. Friendly bunch every time I’ve been in.
brown cow whitkirk
Brown cows lovley, just bleeding expensive @wullieg7269
Harehills is definitely the place to go. I remember going to the Fforde Grene back in the day. Was definitely an eye opener!
Ah the fforde Greene 😂 used to live on Bexley's near there. If you walked past and didn't hear smashing glasses it was a quiet night pretty sure I walked past once and a chair came through the window 😂👍
Brill keep these videos dropping 😊🍺
Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍
Worked out of beeston in the eighties and it was always a bit rough and ready but the People were always sound. Parts of harehills, Gipton , Little london , Holbeck could be included in the list to visit .
As a resident midlands lad its nice to see people exploring the place. If you want a truly dystopian looking place I'd recommend Freeman Street in Grimsby
I think the club thing is their way of having plausible deniability to keep the riff raff out.
Try the 3 legs in Leeds city centre that's a rough pub
I lived in town street top end of beeston from 2002 until 2005 .It was a decent area up there ,but the massage parlour used to be called winstons .
Brilliant video, mate. You should definitely make a video in Sheffield’s infamous Page Hall!Keep them coming man!
I’ve heard about Page Hall! An article about how all the British people have moved out and it’s now almost exclusively Slovakian Roma Gypsy. Have I got that right? Is that Page Hall?
Watched a number of your videos and I’d be definitely tempted with that back street curry house.
I live in Carlisle now and whilst my favourite curry house isn’t in the roughest area,the streets behind it do have a reputation.
I think the rougher the area,the better the food is
Mate you're probs right... it's the posh joints that do the worst food nowa days
Enjoying your vids - weirdly watchable :)
You passed a shop called Abu bakar , used to be the local pub , the New Inn , you were right about the chip shop , you just entered the bad area mate , I have lived around here for years , and the high street is not so bad , but when you go up from there , it becomes more dodgy .
I live in Beeston, not far from Spinning Wheel, been here 23 years, there are a lot worse places in Leeds.
I just don't understand why people don't use the bins. The whole area looks mucky. Nice little pub though.
Yeh....my pet hate, not hard to do! Was and alright pub 👍🍺
It's the people from subsharan Africa etc and Asia they live like this in their homelands and bring it over .....they just throw their shit on the street
That end of Beeston is where the non-natives reside so there is your answer. You'll see the same litter issue in Harehills and most of Bradford
Brilliant !
spinning wheel northern soul classics Guinness = heaven
You know it pal!👍🍺
I thought I recognised that pub! I have family who live around there, I walked past that pub last year with my dad, contemplated going in. There was two old geezers outside who looked like they haven’t changed fashion from the 80s 😂
We need to make sure community pubs like this survive!
Broadway pub,l was in my teen's yep,they saved me.
Happy memories,lm now 60.
First job,changing tires,as a YOP.
I was expecting a visit to the Broadway or Tommy Wass. Spinning Wheel is nice with a lot of outside space (but be prepared to have to shout over traffic noise!) Not many pubs in Beeston to begin with and even fewer nowadays. (New Inn, Palace, Junction, Malvern all closed in the last 10 years, mainly due to them becoming too 'roigh' for most.) Recently lost the social clubs on Dewsbury Rd and Beeston Hill too although Rowland Rd is still going strong.
Gave up drinking 17 years ago. That guiness looked lovely. Ahh happy days.
I left the uk twenty odd years ago, I reckon if I was still in the uk I would still be drinking.
Gave it up 23 years back but it is nice living vicariously through this dude! I miss the whole going to a bar/pub and just shooting some random conversation with folks. Just ain't the same with a coca cola, well now wife, kid, etc.
You can get zero alcohol beers now and I think Guiness is one of them
Aye Guinness 0% definitely worth a try.
Enjoy your videos
Beeston isn't too bad, it's got better or worse parts but in general it's not terrible. Lived there for 30 years and nearly always felt safe enough.
Of course there's some crime/drugs etc but there are much worse areas of Leeds.
Worked on dewsbury road for 8 years and lived in beeston for 2 never had any problems
those are polish beers youre seeing in the shop mate, and the green ones ciucas, ursus with bear on them, and blue cans called timisoreana are the only ones on the left side corner which are romanian beers :))
Is there not a hospital nearby this street mate? Brings back memories when i used to go see my nana as a kid
Watching this hungover and the edits of you walking up and down the street is sending me bad ☠️ like ur in a never ending cycle of dewsbury road
That's the dream! Dewsbury road is the place to be 🤣🍺
That's exactly what I thought😂 he went up and down a few times. Think he got abit lost after talking to that old chap
nice clean glass as well
You know it 👍
Carry on to Selby and have a wander round there mate, charity shops, barbers and bookies, couple of rough pubs too 😂
Surprised to see my old stomping ground from back in the day. Never had a problem in Beeston. Seacroft or Harehills is different gravy :)
went to the spinning wheel with my dad before heading to beaverworks for a rave, had a few drinks and games of pool there was a great place! I thought the intro looked familiar
Good boozer
You're lucky to find any pub anywhere these days. I went to Ashton recently just on a sober daytime bike ride and where there were at least 20 pubs going around the one-way system in the late 1990's, only one pub remains there "Feathers". Really sad to see.
Fn Grim 😮
.
Ireland looks like a park by comparison 😊🎉
Smashing 👍🍺
If you think Dewsbury Road is the roughest place in Leeds I don’t know what to tell you. It’s like a holiday camp compared to some places in Leeds.
Great video, you should pop to York for a look round
Normally do run down places....i do love York though but goes against my channel vibes 🤣
Do birmingham mate you'll love it 😁🍻great review thanks 👍
Used to live in Armley drank in most of the small places in and around Leeds run down a few places but not exactly what you call that rough.
Conversation is the key to acceptance 💯
Ya carn’t beat a cheeky little Thai massage parlour.... yum yum. 😜
🤣
Yum yum ? ...Oh right try her next time 😂
Winston's is a Leeds legend, used to be somewhere else before moving here... Not many people will admit to knowing that, but there ya go!! lol
Thai? Try trafficked Eastern European! The only thing Thai in there will be the stains from a regurgitated takeaway.
the locals were friendly and polite to you
Great video and channel overall, I’ve definitely got a shared appreciation of these run down areas where there’s still a little bit of old school English charm.
I wondered how you film inside places, is the camera hidden?
Just go in and be kind and people don't really bother. I do have a 2nd sneaky camera if i thing it may cause and issue but normally sweet. Appreciate the comment 👍
@@honestplaces nice one, thanks for the reply. Thinking of doing something similar myself.
@@CalleSanc alot of pubs to explore 👍
I wonder how long that little bit will be there in 10 years
Interesting to watch from Essex
'Especially a place that's got a house sort of door' great quote mate, also kind of know what you mean
Beeston isn't as rough as Harehills or Burmantofts. I used to go in the Tommy Wass years ago at the other end of Dewsbury Road, proper pub. Also the Imperial but I think that's been closed for a few years.
Zubr beer! In that Eastern European shop.
I noticed many of the Eastern European community stick with their own beer.
I gave a few a taste test….the Zubr was alright!
Polish and Czech lagers are good, but rocket fuel by comparison to ours.
Wow tell me this is Bulgaria?
Love your work
Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍

What a lovely club.
you wanna get yourself over to Belfast lad, some cracking little pubs on the outskirts of town there.
So how much did you sell the round for

@@tobyjackman3212 naughty 🤣
Am I missing something?
I thought the people you spoke to were polite,people in pub behaving well and socialising, chap you bought tin of pop off not bothered on debit card cost for such a small money sale.Odd bit of rubbish about but compared to many places not too bad. Bradford one was grim...😢
The Guinness looks good though ❤
Was one of the best in a while! 👍🍺
what that pork scratchings warmer ?
Beeston is a nice area...keep your self to your self.you'll be fine.
Looks like paradise, get yourself to Nottingham have a walk up & down Redford Road down the Green, Hyson Green
That brings back some memories. About 25 years ago I worked at GE Capital in Morley which was a dark and dingy shithole - but at least it was right by the M62 for a quick getaway back home to Notts and it looked very smart compared to Harehills where the other office was, at the old Burton the Tailors site. Harehills really WAS a dark and dingy shithole. One lunchtime we went in a pub in Harehills to get a pint and a sandwich. The only food on offer was a bag of crisps and the landlord suggested that we leave for our own safety. I think that the only habitable places in Leeds are well north of the city out near the ring road.
🤣🤣 jeezzz. I need to get to harehills
@@honestplacesNo, you really don't.
Morley ? its full off nice traditional pubs, loads of em along with wine bars and restaraunts, great for a night out. Harehills is a shithole with only The Brown Hare pub left.
Should of gone into 3 legs mate ,in the town centre good cheeky atmosphere, enjoy your uploads pal
Yeh someone else has said that! Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍

Lived in leeds 37 year, wouldn't walk around there 😂, harehills gives it a run for its money tbf, quite similar though. Spinning wheel looks good, never been in, good content mate.
Any good boozers in harehills? Need to visit. Cheer pal, appreciate it 👍
@@honestplaces there used to be mate, most have fallen by the wayside, there is a club called the pigeon club, similar to the spinning wheel you will get a pint, and a pub called the brown hare about half a mile from it quite an eye opener 😂
@@daveywhyte6254 noted. Will check them out 👍
Harehills is 10× worse
@@adamdennison80 gonna be there soon!
I wouldn't really class that as Beeston, that's more Hunslet / Hunslet Carr.
If you would have taken the last left before The Spinning Wheel onto Hunslet Hall Road, there is the Golden Lion (Old Golden Lion Hotel) if you turn right at the end on to Beeston Road. I think that'd be your kind of battle cruiser.
subbed btw ,legend
Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍

Beeston isn’t rough!
You should’ve gone to Harehills, seacroft or Holbeck (late evening)
Seacroft...? Doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Harehills and Holbeck!
No pubs in holbeck
Beeston is still a shit hole tho isn’t let’s be honest
Middleton
@@lufc76I live in Beeston (which is fine if a bit scruffy, but some of us are working on that!) and I wouldn't have a house in Seacroft given to me. Last time I had to go there i had to run the gauntlet of 10yo chavs in tracksuits calling me a ginger cnut while their pothead mums laughed. Absolute shithole of an estate. Miggy, Belle Isle... nowhere in South Leeds is even in the same league.
Anyone remember The Villager, Bramley, back in the 80's?
They was playing pretty good tunes in that pub
Always get lucky with that 👍
Manchester video was great for this
@@tobyjackman3212 yeh that really was!
2:57 lived there for two years, was a good are in 2015, done down the crapper by the looks of it.

It was shite 25 years back.
@@DominicBoddy Agreed. I've lived in Beeston for 25 years. Further up that road past the Park is so different to the bottom part isn't it? Heading up to Tommy wass. The parkfield area is alright as well. Plus the Cardinals near the White Rose. But i won't go down where he was anymore unless i'm in a car. 😅
It was a good area in 2015!?! I want a pair of those rose tinted glasses you've clearly got on.
Beeston & Dewsbury Road isn’t even top 10 roughest streets in Leeds mate. Get in Harehills, Little London
Lived behind the spinning wheel for 3 years as a kid, my mam would always be in there until she got barred. Should try the Broadway on a Friday night, I lived directly opposite and it was always entertaining
I worked in Leeds years ago the New Inn wasn't bad landlords name was Wentworth! A pub I went in after a funeral in harehills The Brown Hare now that was rough!
Remember going to Winstons after a night out.
Went to Leeds printing college in the eighties,had digs near Beeston,New Cross road If I recall, opposite a bar called The Broadway, apparently rough as fk,didn't venture in!!
Used to go into town,Confetti's nightclub,happy days as an eighteen year old,but all in all aye a bit dodgy😅😅
