Other comments: The pub holds the oldest licence in Saddleworth and was first licensed in 1722 when Edmund Buckley decided to offer hospitality to travellers on the major moorland route linking Lancashire to Yorkshire.  The pub has only had 22 operating landlords over the entire 300 years and 13 of those were from three periods of ownership of the same family.
