My ancestor Jesse Johnson ran the pub around 1901. The family rumour is that he gambled the pub away. By 1911 he is a coal worker in Yorkshire…
Would love to have any pictures or memories of the pub. We still have a german wall clock rumoured to be from the pub.
Lets hope somebody knows regards Geoff
