Hi, The above public house was in my family (DODSON & VICKERMAN) from bef 1841 to c1930s and am trying to locate any existing photographs. I have located the actual site of the pub, using a 1961 Ordnance Survey map, kindly helped by staff in Kirklees Local Studies. The address of the Boar's Head was 26 Wakefield Road, Moldgreen up to 1919 and from 1920 onwards is shown as 210 Wakefield Road. I am assuming the most likely explanation of this is a re-numbering of Wakefield Road. The Boar's Head is variously shown as a beerhouse and inn. The pub was situated on the right hand side of Wakefield Road (leaving Huddersfield) just before the turn off to Almondbury Bank and after the Rookery Road junction. The pub and the 2 houses in Boar's Head Yard were literally surrounded by Mills and Works. I have tried all the usual online sources including Kirklees local studies, Kirklees Image Archive, Andrew Loughran's website, Search engines etc but with no success. Any help/thoughts would be gratefully received Kind Regards Maureen Mitchell A Yorkshire tyke living in Norfolk (UK) Researching JUBB & VICKERMAN Guild of One Name Studies
Maureen Simply type - "Boars Head" Huddersfield - into Google and click on images and you'll get 2 of the Old Boars Head and at least 2 of the Boars Head Hotel Regards Chris B -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maureen Mitchell Sent: 29 November 2009 15:24 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [WRY] Photo of Boar's Head beerhouse/public house - Moldgreen,Huddersfield Hi, The above public house was in my family (DODSON & VICKERMAN) from bef 1841 to c1930s and am trying to locate any existing photographs.
