The pub may have been here since the Leeds to Elland turnpike road was built in 1815. The 1908 map shows a smithy adjacent, which would fit with it being a coaching inn. The pub was described in a CAMRA guide to Leeds pubs published in 1993 as 'pleasantly refurbished ... with an upstairs family room'.
