Post card view of the Old George Inn at Garforth Bridge, West Garforth. It stands at the junction of Selby Road with Wakefield Road and the photograph was taken from the other side of Selby Road. Nowadays, there is a busy roundabout at this junction. The Old George was mentioned in Baine's Gazetteer as far back as 1822. It had stabling for horses and is thought to have been a coaching inn serving travellers on the turnpike roads between Leeds and Selby and Wakefield and Tadcaster. It was situated right at the crossroads. Sheffield Beck, part of the parish boundary flows beneath Garforth Bridge at the crossroads. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Wakefield Road Garforth Bridge Selby Road Old George Inn | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
