A typographical error on the above directory records the premises as the "Old Dock" instead of the "Old Oak" but other records confirm Thomas Kenyon as the landlord around this time.

ReplyDeleteI was born in the old oak in 1952. My Mum and Dad ran it at the time, and my Grandma had the White Bull at Alston, and lived at the Brown Cow at Chatburn. My sister ran the Townley at Longridge. We also live at The Duke of York at Grindleton.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous tradition in the family. Thanks for sharing David.
