In 1869 beer
houses were brought under the control of local magistrates. They had
to improve the conditions to gain a license, many closed down. What
were beer houses, usually known only by the land lords name,
after 1869 they acquired names, some pubs also changed their names
for one reason or another, a few having the same name, only being
distinguishable by the addition of hotel, inn etc. There maybe
errors in the below list, if anyone can help us with correct or
additional information we would be very grateful of an email
Many of the Landlord names were taken from directories in the 1800's
- early 1900's. The information here can not be guaranteed as
correct. If anyone as any information or photographs please email
us. Where we have been able to aquire photos they have been
added, many taken from Keighley.plus.com, another useful site about

Lord Rodney, Church
st.
The oldest pub in Keighley. Believed to have originated in the 17th
century Before 1780 was called the Ye
Olde Red Lion. A former Landlord in the 18th century, John Drake
was related to Sir Francis Drake. At some point in the late 1700's the
inn was sold to a John Clapham for four hundred and fifty pounds, this
also included a dwelling house, which was occupied by William Fox.
William Fox & Elizabeth Fox. 1880 Joseph Whitewham.
While digging, in 1936, workmen unearth a skull and some bones out side
the inn. As a church as stood near by for over 800 years, it must be
assumed that the line of the church wall was altered during renovations
and rebuilding, and that the inn is built on part of the old grave yard.
Strangely it is not listed in the trade directory of 1837.

Scar Top Brewery. William
& Robert Heaton was living at Scar Top Farm at the time of the
construction of Ponden
reservoir & Watersheddles. He saw a cash making opportunity, the
workers were a long way from any village. So he built a brewery onto the
side of the farm, which consisted of a large underground store cellar,
barrel wash house, wagon shed, counting house, brew house, square rooms
store, vatting rooms, refrigerator and settling back rooms, hop chamber
and malt room. The business must have grown beyond supplying the works,
which by 1873 there were some 300 men working on the reservoirs. By 1877
they had 3 horses, an ale wagon, ale cart, sprung cart and a dog cart;
one set of harness was silver mounted. The reservoirs were completed in
1877. May 1878 there was an advert for the sale of, Brewery, farm
and three cottages. It was advertised later 1st June 1878 in the
Keighley News, to take place at the Crown Hotel, it must not have sold
as it is advertised again September 1878, but this time it also includes
household furniture and livestock. It must have failed to sell, and
things must have become serious, November 1878 another advertisement,
this time being sold by Order of Mortgagees, Under Power of Sale.

Silent Inn Hob Lane, Stanbury. One story
tells that this inn took its name after Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at
the inn for several weeks during the 1745 Jacobean uprising. The
villagers were told to 'keep silent' about their guest's
presence. Tradition holds that a kindly old landlady provided food
for the wild cats that foraged on the moors. She would announce feeding
time by ringing a bell from a doorway of the inn that has since been
blocked up, and this is where a ghostly tinkling is now heard.
