Shoulder of Mutton Hotel
« on: Sunday 23 June 19 02:44 BST (UK) »
My grandparents (Harold Walker ?1895 - 1957 and Amelia nee Woodhead ?1893 - 1973) I believe owned and ran the Shoulder of Mutton Hotel in Lancashire from about 1948 until they sold and went to manage the Turf Hotel in Bradford where Harold died.
I also believe that the hotel was near Accrington - in Green Haworth or Oswaldtwistle?
Any suggestions, please, as to where can I look to find more information and/ or confirm the little I have already?

I notice you list a  question mark re the couples birth years .   I think they are listed on the 1939 Register in Leeds which would give their birth dates but we can't post details

I haven't got as far as getting the birth certificates yet so I can't confirm then.  These dates are in line with what I've found from Family Search and similar.

They were probable living at 34 Gipton Wood Road in Leeds (don't know the suburb)

The maps Kay gave you were from 1844 and 1928 (it says at the top of the page  ;)). You can also use the side by side view to see the current location:

Whoops!  How embarrassing, I didn't look right up the top.  My apologies.
