| Comment | Situated on Town Street Rawdon near the junction with Over Lane, the Emmott Arms has been a public house since 1780. |
In due course it became tied to William Whitaker & Co of the Bradford Old Brewery and later to Sam Smiths of Tadcaster . Present day (2021) it is still Sam Smiths of Tadcaster.
A horse drawn cart is outside the Emmott Arms. On the left is Over Lane with Emsley’s Grocers at the corner with Larkfield Road on the right hand side of the store.
In 1822, the landlord was William Dennison, followed by John Dennison in 1853, then Jas Marshall in 1861.
Donated by Carol Hall.

Two women, a child and a babe in arms, stand in the doorway. Above the upper windows is the brewery sign – Whitakers & co Celebrated Ales . Above the doorway on the right hand side is a board giving the licensee’s name as John Smith.
“John Smith Licensed Victualler of Spiritous Liquors, Wines, Ales, Porter and Tobacco. To be consumed on the premises” Surely Samuel Smiths?

We can see on the signage it is still a Sam Smiths but now has a restaurant and on the right hand side there is an entrance into a car park.
