Pubs on the pub crawl route

Over the next week, I am wherever possible going to put a photo of the pubs taking part in the pub crawl and some history up.

Our meeting and kick-off pub on the pub crawl is the Old White Horse Inn ( pictured )

The Old White Horse Inn is one of the oldest buildings still in use in the town. It was originally constructed as a coaching inn in the mid-seventeenth century, strategically positioned with Ireland Bridge on the one side and the Parish church on the other. The building is an English Grade II listed building and has a significant amount of coaching inn infrastructure surviving including a stable, barn and two coach entrances which are located around an inner courtyard. On each side of the gable are stone lanterns that denote the former owners Order of Knights of St John of Jerusalem. There is evidence that a hostelry has been on the site since 1379.Bingley is a very old market town and appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Bingheleia".

Next time....The Brown Cow on the opposite side of Ireland bridge!
