Sorry - I should have said before. I have found so many street names have changed in Bradford during my searches that the George and Dragon that is in Great Horton may be the pub you are looking for. Have you tried Bradford library as they have old maps and may be able to help you.

It is a dog-legged road which ran between Hollingwood Lane and Great Horton Road (which was called High Street on my map). I'm fairly certain that it's the same as Holly Bank Road, Great Horton on a modern map. Unfortunately it's nowhere near Liz's George and Dragon at the top of Cemetery Road. -- Dave
Thanks for your help Dave and Liz. I managed to find an old map whici sounds similar to yours and I also believe it is correct that it is now Holly Bank Road - it also fits the enumeration for Horton in the census. Still no sign of the pub as the one in Gt Horton is not the one. Can one request maps from Bradford library do you know. Commercial ones are so expensive they are not viable. I am not close enough to Bradford to visit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Pickles" <dave@pickles.me.uk> To: <eng-yks-bradford@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [YKS-BRADFORD] Dog Lane Horton > >> >I am trying to discover the location of Dog Lane, Horton.

Hi Liz Am I misunderstanding the map on the website you gave? Is the red balloon blob supposed to be where the pub is because where this blob is, it is not Great Horton Road which is the address given at the top of the page. Not picking on you, but the map. Perhaps I am having a senior moment!!
