Hi Helachau

Thank you very much for this new information as it now answers the question as to what happened to my Great Grandad's pub. I have been in contact with the West Yorkshire Archives at Wakefield and they were unable to find any trace of the inn or that he was the licensee so I was really disappointed that my search had come to a standstill. However, your post has at least offered a new explanation. I do know that he then went on to run the Fire Brigade Tavern in Bradford because this was published in his will in 1915 so I must assume that the compensation he received went towards the license for this new venture. Thanks again!
