Local Pubs and Clubs

 

Once Upon a time in Barnburgh and Harlington,  we had a Church, St Peters, and two Chapels, St Helens  and the Wesleyan.

Now in the good old days farmers and miners must have been more inclined to drink beer than to worship because we had  8 public houses in our small villages

Eight? Yes eight!  we had; The Harlington Inn, The Crown Inn, The Coach and Horses, Barnburgh Club, Green Lane Social Club , The New Inn, The Plumbers Arms and the Golden Ball.

The New Inn and The Golden Ball have been converted into houses and the Plumbers Arms was demolished.

 So now we are down to one Church and 4 pubs. The Church you've seen, Now its the pubs turn.

    Plumbers Arms

The Plumbers Arms was one of three pubs that stood together on High Street Barnburgh

William Moxon is noted as a plumber in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Barnburgh census returns. In Kelly’s West Riding Directory of 1861, however, he is mentioned as a plumber and also a beerhouse keeper.

In the 1871 census return he is recorded as occupying the Plumber’s Arms and being a plumber and glazier. It is therefore likely that the Plumber’s Arms was established by Moxon.

The earliest located reference to the Plumber’s Arms itself is 1856 when Moxon was fined for keeping the house open after 10pm.

During 1869 the Plumber’s Arms was granted a full licence but as a consequence the nearby New Inn was closed.

Inquests, suppers and meetings were amongst the activities once held on the premises.

Moxon ran the inn until his death in 1875, when it was continued by his widow for a further eight years.

During the following years the licence was held for long periods by several families: the Clark family from 1883 to 1894; the Kent family from 1894 to 1924.

The premises closed around 1930 and past owners included Andrew Montagu.

I have been very kindly sent some information about the pub by a relative of the Inn keeper.  Read More

 

    New Inn

 

I have been told that the New Inn stood on High Street Barnburgh and is now know as Plane Tree Farm

It was an important building as it was at this Inn that special sessions of  West Riding assizes were held to settle arbitration disputes.

 The Landlord is recorded in 1820 as John Kelton. Do you know anything about the New Inn?

 

The Golden Ball

The Building now known as Bethany Cottage was once the Golden Ball public house.  We have learnt that at some time it was a shop called 'Toothills' but what about the other years?

 Do you know of its history?

 

Green Lane Social Club

I desperately need some photos of Green Lane Social Club, Internal and External Please

Latest...  the old building has been demolished and a house has been built on on the foundations

I need help with this one folks before it is as lost as the Golden Ball above!
