Whitelock's Ale House, Victorian pub in Leeds city centre, England.
Whitelock's Ale House features Victorian architecture with stained-glass windows, brass barley twist columns, mirrors, and a ceramic tiled copper-topped bar counter.
Established in 1715 as the Turk's Head, the Whitelock family transformed it into an upmarket luncheon bar during the 1880s, earning Grade II* listed status.
The poet laureate John Betjeman recognized this establishment as the central meeting point of Leeds, drawing actors, writers, and even Prince George.
The pub opens daily from 11:00 to 23:00 Sunday through Wednesday and until midnight Thursday through Saturday, serving traditional ales and local food.
This establishment marked a technological milestone as the first building in Leeds to install electric lighting and an electric clock.
