Not many people remembered Prospect City! Maybe why it reverted to being the Richmond in East End Park. It did become a bit wild west again by the 80s though… #LeedsPubs #Leeds #70sLeeds - ThreadSky

The Richmond was one of my locals growing up and had some good times in there. Very much like most of East Street and was a bit 'chaotic' by the end 😂

Remember it in the 80s but I’d never heard of Prospect city which I believe was early 70s. Quite unusual and ahead of its time I’d have thought, theme bars became a ‘thing’ early 80s.

My Mum always called it t'prospect for many years. Took her ages to get used to The Richmond 😂

I didn’t know it was originally the Prospect! So I’m guessing it changed to Prospect City first then Richmond?

Just posted a link to Leodis and comments on there refer to it as Prospect City in 70s. It was always The Richmond for me 😁
