It was a bit of a skanky pub, on the way into town. I'd never have guessed I'd treasure the memories now.

"The Spread" was our usual first port of call in town :((

Very sadly, the Spread Eagle is long gone. Fantastic pub.

The Red Lion off Walmgate/Fossgate has not changed *at all* since I was a student and we'd come in here to blag a shared glass of coke. The start of a city pub crawl 🍺
