The Cavendish Hotel receives a between-the-wars delivery
THE Cavendish Hotel received a between-the-wars delivery from the Stone Trough Brewery of Thomas Ramsden and Son, of Halifax.
The site had previously been occupied by the Oddfellows’ Arms which, together with a Queen’s Head Inn on the opposite side of Cavendish Street, had formed a notorious “bottle-neck”.
Keighley Corporation had sold the Oddfellows’ Arms to Ramsden’s on condition that they replace it with a finer hostelry, and the Cavendish Hotel of 1900 was the result.
Notice here, on the opposite side of Cavendish Street, the once well-known shop of printers and stationers Wheatley, Dyson and Son.
The photograph has been supplied by Mr Kevin Seaton, of Shann Lane, Keighley.
