A story, and a mystery
« on: Sunday 10 June 18 06:05 BST (UK) »
Hi gang, long time no post  :)

A bit of excitement in my corner. Had a brilliant trip to England and Scotland, and met a couple of  distant cousins (Rootschat's sallytay, and a previously unknown cousin from NZ who popped up just a couple of weeks before our trip  :) )


Anyway, the story. My g-g-great grandfather owned a pub in Mirfield, WRY. Apparently he purchased it from his brother's estate, when the brother died in 1814. His name was Thomas Jubb, and his brother who died was William Jubb. The pub was called The Flower Pot, and it's still there.

So, for the first time ever, I was able to visit Mirfield. And the Flower Pot. The outside was okay, but the inside was completely redone in 2012. Alas, not an original brick on the inside.

So, I had a look at the outside. Kind of ordinary, but there was a block of cottages attached. Lovely old weathered texture of the bricks. I took a photo of a bit of wall..........and then looked higher up. Here's what I saw.

I was quite literally jumping up and down when I called OH to come and look  :)

So. All my research, totally validated and carved in stone  :) But it was very high up the wall and this is the best photo I could get.

And I can't read the second line. Can anyone sharpen it up so we can see what it says?

I am still glowing over my trip to England, where my heart lies. It had been too long.

Cheers,
China

I have found The Flower Pot on street view and can see the row of cottages just around the corner.  I have tried to zoom in to see if I can spot the words carved into the brick, but I can't see it.  You may be able to spot it as you know where it is  ;D
