Waggon & Horses

The Waggon & Horses was located where the Wickham Arms now stands. Frank Peel talks about Cleckheaton in the 1830's and mentions that this public house was taken on by George & Nanny Garside and an enlarged trade was done. The property was, however, owned by William Clayton who later demolishes it and builds the Wickham Arms. Nanny (or Ann as she was known) then established the Old Oak in School Street (Cheapside nowadays).
