The History of Lockwood and North Crosland (1980) by Brian Clarke:
A cluster of houses bore this name in the early 1800’s but no positive proof regarding the inn of this name has been found. A Thomas Horsfall was an Innkeeper at Longroyd Bridge in 1748 which may be a connection with this house, but, if so, the house must have been rebuilt for a house at 311 Manchester Road bore a stone inscribed "The Wounded Huzzar, MDCCCXX" (1820).
