This is an enlargement of photo ID; U977 seen in Rawdon Town Street (1) on this site and is the only known image of the Nags Head Inn.
On the left is the building of what is now the Village Bakery and in the distance the tower of St. Peter’s Church.
The entrance to what was Grange Farm is on the left just about where the little vehicle is and Emsley’s General Store would be opposite.
Val Ryan commented “My Granddad Walter Long and his wife Clara moved their family from Yeadon to Rawdon after their daughter Florence Margaret (Madge) was born in Yeadon in July 1903, at some point they took over the Nags Head public house on Town Street where my mother Renie was born in 1913. Granddad Walter died in tragic circumstances in 1916, Clara (Louie) continued to run the pub until she remarried in 1918 to Jack Braithwaite a farmer and headman at the pub. The couple moved across the road to become tenant farmers at Grange Farm, Town Street where they stayed until 1945.”
We believe that the Nags Head closed during 1933. Ed. JB. 21 February 2024.
