Old Bridge Inn

Reputedly the oldest pub in Yorkshire, next to the River Ryburn and the 16th century packhorse bridge on the Calderdale Way. This amazing timber-framed Grade II-listed building, with its internal cruck structure, was a house in 1307, later encased in mid 18th century stone and whitewashed. lt now incorporates a portion of what some believe to be a 13th century wall. When restored in 1882, 250 layers of whitewash were found. There are three rooms on two levels, the bar extending into all three. The lowest, has an the astonishing cruck beam, an unusual feature in Calderdale. The Pork Pie Appreciation Society meets on Saturday evenings at 7.30, with a pork pie competition in March or April, with proceeds going to charity.
