Histoire

The first mention by name of the ancient manorial water corn mill that used to stand here, is to be found in the Court Rolls of the town of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, in the second year of King Edward II (1308). The mill is said to have once belonged to William of Adderigate (now Addersgate) and Simon of the Dene, at the rent of 53 shillings and 4 pennies per annum.

In 1845 Messers Thomas and George Bottomley used the building as a worsted spinning mill. Thomas Bottomley died in 1854 and his brother George became sole lessee. The rent paid for the premises at this time was £163 and 14 shillings per year. In 1859 the mill burnt down and George Bottomley died six years later in 1865. On August 5th 1890 the mill was sold to Halifax brewers Websters and became a public house. The first landlord was a Mr E.C. Sutherland Walker.

Shortly afterwards, the original mill pond which helped power the mill, was drained and filled in, possibly to prevent any water leaking into the coal mines in the area. This is now used as parking for the Inn.
