This former public house was well-known for being a live music venue. An old double-deck bus, parked alongside, was used as overnight accommodation for band members. The pub dated from the 1960's and in the past has been known as Poste Haste and the Freedom Bar. The last landlord has relocated the business to 8 King Street Wakefield, where it is known as The Snooty Fox Club. As for 1 Brunswick Street, it appears to be one of the Council's regeneration projects and is currently undergoing work. The building when in use as a pub can be seen in this photograph from January 2012 by Bill Henderson:- Image The famous bus is in this photograph by Richard Vince from November 2015:- Image
