There was an ale house on this site in 1619 - Ye Olde Oak at Brincliffe. The pub was extended over the next four hundred years and had an annexe where private parties were often held as well as regular folk evenings. Sadly, it has remained empty since January 2007 and is now falling into grave disrepair. Another nail in the coffin of the traditional English pub.
