At the Brewster Sessions of 1914 it was stated that the Travellers Rest had to be "re-constructed or re-modelled" before the next Brewster Sessions or else "the licence would be in jeopardy". At the next Brewster Session, a report was given that the premises was "one of the oldest in the neighbourhood" and "ill adapted for the trade" — the licence was then referred to the West Riding Compensation Authority.[1]
