The Liversedge area was huge and as such, all the main areas of the district have been added individually. These include: Hightown, Littletown, Millbridge, Rawfolds and Roberttown and can be found on the below links.
There are records of "Alehouse" licences having been granted as early as 1771, but unfortunately they did not name any of the premises or where they were located. As we research the area in more detail, we can hopefully start to identify these premises and those that have been identified have comments in brackets after their name.
