According to a plaque on the wall: 'In
Elizabethan times, Ralph Rokeby Esq (d.1575) Secretary of the Council of the
North lived in a house on this site. Subsequently for about two and a half
centuries there existed here a Hostelry known since 1614 as the George Inn,
from which horsedrawn coaches departed to Hull, Manchester and Newcastle.
The sisters Charlotte and Anne Bronte stayed here in 1849. Leak & Thorp
moved to this site in 1869.' |
