Lewins - 28 Bull Green, Halifax 

Lewin's, at Bull Green, Halifax, a listed building dating from 1769. First known as the Hare and Hounds Inn, it became Lewin's in 1881 when taken over by the Lewin family.

In 1996, it became part of the Irish themed pub chain O'Neill's. The change of name caused some controversy and in 2000 it got its old name of Lewin's back! However, one tradition long associated with Lewin's seems unlikely to return.

During the beer shortage of the Great War women were banned from the pub. Men-only drinking continued until 1969.

Lord Nelson - High Street, Luddenden HX2 6PX

One of the district's first libraries was in the Lord Nelson Inn at Luddenden. The 1634 datestone over the door recalls its origin as a private house for Gregory Patchett's family. It became an alehouse in the middle of the 18th century, when it was called the White Swan. Shortly afterwards the library was set up with a collection of books donated by the parish minister.

Maybe it was the library that attracted literary regulars like local poet William Dearden and Branwell Bronte. The latter was station-master at Luddenden Foot Station. The library continued until 1925. Some of its books are now in the Information and Local Studies collection.

Luddenden's Lord Nelson Inn had its own mayor-making ceremony. In 1861, customers decided to celebrate what they considered the village's growing status by electing its own mayor. An elaborate chain of office was bought and an induction ceremony devised.

The 'Mayor's Parlour' (the snug by the bar) had a bench known as the Mayor's Chair. Anyone sitting in this seat was invited by custom to become Mayor for a month. If they agreed, as strangers might, they were expected to pay for drinks all round! The 'Mock Mayor' ceremony was revived again in 1996.
