| Comment | The Red Lion played a key part in the Guiseley/Yeadon horse weddings. John Popplewell was the landlord followed by William Popplewell in 1870. The Red Lion played a key part in the Guiseley/Yeadon horse weddings. When a wedding party emerged from St. Oswald’s Church on the opposite side of Towngate the bride and groom would have their health drunk in the Red Lion. The bride then rode behind her groom up Kirk Lane to Yeadon accompanied by unmarried young men who would race on horseback up to the Robin Hood. The winner was given a silver tankard of ale decked with ribbons. |
