Haworth, West Yorkshire, March 1979
The Kings Arms and Old White Lion in West Lane, Haworth on 24th March 1979.
The Kings Arms has an interesting history in that it is a former manor house dating from the 17th century. In 1841 Enoch Thomas, a friend of Branwell Bronte, was the Innkeeper. The current private rooms upstairs were home to the Manorial Courts, whilst the local undertaker used the cellar as a mortuary. Ownership of the pubs is indicated by the signage but Tetley's Brewery in Hunslet, Leeds was closed in 2011, and demolished in 2012 while Webster's Fountain Head Brewery in Halifax was closed in 1996. Fortunately, the pubs continue to thrive under their current owners. Nowadays, along with a variety of other beers, they both sell Tetley Bitter but the product bearing that name is now brewed at the Banks's brewery in Wolverhampton.
