Post by: charley on Friday 21 January 05 20:39 GMT (UK)

Can anyone tell me if there is a Pub on Main Street, Northallerton called 'Old Fellows Arms'.

It is called the Odd Fellows Arms, and is at 249 High Street, Northallerton.
Whites Directory of 1840 states  John Holmes was the publican
Bulmers Directory of 1890 states  W. Wright was the publican

Thanks Janet.  It is amazing that it is still standing - an ancester, Farrow Vasey, was publican there in 1871 - he was also a solicitor's clerk!  I must try to get over to Northallerton during the summer months and find it. :D  Thanks again, Charley

Although the Odd Fellows Arms has a High Street address it is situated behind the church next to the gates of the cemetery!  Local knickname of 'Amen Corner'.
Very easy to miss if you just go down the high street.   
Enjoy you drink in there.
