The Cardigan Arms, Kirkstall Road, Leeds.

KIRKSTALL Brewery plan a '˜sympathetic restoration' of historic Leeds pub the Cardigan Arms.

Current Cardigan Arms owners Greene King agreed to sell to Kirkstall Brewery last month after rejecting a bid from not-for-profit The Cardigan Arms Communities Pub Ltd.

The community group raised £130,000 in a community share offer and were confident of meeting the £295,000 asking price with help from business partner, Leeds pub company Mood.
