The Leopard. Doncaster

Downstairs - A traditionally shabby local. Upstairs - a grimy room with stage and bar.
In addition to hosting local wannabe noise-merchants, it aspires to be part of the traditional indie toilet circuit and, as such, has recently seen bands such as Longview, Kasabian and Chikinki struggle to load in up the precarious, metal fire escape.
A venue with great potential that's quickly fulfilling its promise of seeing tomorrow's bands today!
 
The brewery, Warwicks and Richardson's, was based in Newark. In 1890 Warwick’s took over Trent Brewery in Millgate, Newark, which had been established in 1857 by Richardson, Earp and Slater and several others too. The newly amalgamated breweries became known as Warwick’s and Richardson’s Ltd. Over the next fifty years the company also bought out the following breweries: The Newark Brewery (dating from 1869) and the Albion Brewery, Newark (started in 1892); the Stones Home Brewery, Peterborough (from 1897); the Alma Brewery, Cambridge (from 1911) and the Brampton Brewery Co Ltd, Chesterfield (from 1955). At the time of becoming incorporated in 1890, Warwick’s and Richardson’s employed 133 people including 93 in the brewery and 40 administrative staff. In 1962 Warwick’s and Richardson’s were taken over by John Smith’s, Tadcaster Brewery Co Ltd and ceased brewing in 1966. The old brewery building has recently been converted to high-end flats after standing empty for years.
