The Clarence Inn

The Clarence Inn was a small, back-street pub on the corner of Earl Street and Holt Street (later renamed Holderness Street).  It sat across from Midgeley's butchers shop.  The Clarence was demolished along with Earl Street and Holderness Street in the redevelopment of the area in the 1970s.

The image below is shown with the permission of Barbara Webb.  It shows a charabanc sitting outside the Clarence Inn.  Barbara suspects that this was an outing for railway workers.  Her grandfather Alexander Johnson, a fireman on a steam locomotive, is sitting beside the driver.
