| 1911 Summary - Bretherton |
The 1911 census summary for this area is interesting because not only does it record Robert Bretherton as the landlord of the Weaver's Arms in Market Place it also confirms he had a brewhouse and stables further up the road at the junction with Fell Brow, almost certainly at the premises of the old Wheatsheaf Inn, which had closed as a public house a year or so before.

The Weavers' Arms was latterly owned by the Whitbread group but finally closed its door for good in 2012 and is now private accommodation, one of the original entrance lamps still remaining and providing evidence of its former use.
