William's wife Emma was largely responsible for running the pubs and her father William Howarth held the licenses between 1904 and 1908 as William was deemed 'not acceptable as a licensee'! Following the General Strike William and Emma raised funds to support a soup kitchen that they ran from the pub.<br />William died at the Eagle Inn in 1928 and Emma continued to run the pub for a few years. anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343472805239748704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174929485671993677.post-74836947165031388522013-11-11T07:19:47.896+00:002013-11-11T07:19:47.896+00:00Thank you for commenting Charles, I have replied t...Thank you for commenting Charles, I have replied to your email.

I'm researching material for a book I'm writing on my family history - which covers our time from the early 1900s as publicans in both Barnsley and Bradford. My Great Grandfather, Joseph Hobson Cotterill was Mayor of Barnsley at the time of the Royal Visit in 1912 - His son, Arthur Cotterill, was Landlord of the Moulders Arms from 1914-24; and of the Duke of York in the 1920s, before moving across to Bradford with my Mum and the rest of the family. I gather from your Blog that you are researching Barnsley pubs. I wondered if you had come across any information on either of these two pubs and my grandfather which would help me in my research. If so, I would be very grateful to hear from you. Keep up the good work on your Blog.

The fact that your ancestor, who features in the blog post, was actually the owner of the pub is a useful piece of information. In these days of big companies and pub chains we forget that individuals actually used to own and run the pubs themselves.<br /><br />I have been thinking about doing some work on publicans in Barnsley in the 19th century - see my post on John Savage for example (http://barnsleyhistorian.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/tombstone-tuesday-retired-barnsley.html).<br /><br />Thanks again for getting in touch.BarnsleyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706725823398288376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174929485671993677.post-42423296210941700672013-08-30T13:32:27.687+01:002013-08-30T13:32:27.687+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457548088849201111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174929485671993677.post-21206113823864244542013-08-30T13:29:26.085+01:002013-08-30T13:29:26.085+01:00My great great grandfather owned the Gardner's...My great great grandfather owned the Gardner's Arms! William Wadsworth he along with another realtive William Howarth owned several pubs in Barnsley in the early 1900's including the Duke of York (that was owned in 1907 by my maternal great grandfather John Ambrose Brown and Martha Brown (nee Howarth). John died in 1907 and Martha took over the Duke. Interestingly Martha remarried a man named Denvers and they moved to Manchester. She contracted TB in 1911 and actually came back to Barnsley and died at the Gardner's Arms. I have the death certificate that shows this if you would like it.
