Extracts

Inns, Alehouses, Victualling and Tippling Houses in the village of Marsden by Judi Thorpe:

The George was built as a coaching inn around 1793. After its closure as an inn the property was renamed Ottiwells House and was the home of William Horsfall, owner of the adjacent Ottiwells Mill. He was murdered by the Luddites on his way home from Huddersfield. The property was acquired by Crowthers and demolished by them around 1910 to make way for a bowling green for the enjoyment of their work force.
