A LANDMARK pub in Haworth is open for business once again following a short closure.

The Black Bull, near the top of Main Street, had shut on Monday August 6 following the departure of its last landlord, but it re-opened on Monday August 27.

It has been taken on by landlord and landlady Andrew Parker and Sara Davidson, who are from Barnsley.

Joanne McKeegan, who lives in Haworth and is managing the premises, said the pair are hoping to run the pub for the long-term.

She added: “It’s lovely to see the pub back open and people are very pleased to see it is trading. We’ve had a lot of good feedback since we re-opened.”

Mrs McKeegan, who has also managed the same pub for two previous landlords, said the historic premises will be opening from noon till late seven days a week.

The prominent pub, owned by Ei Group pic – formerly called Enterprise Inns – is well known as having been a regular haunt of the troubled Branwell Bronte.

After it shut early last month local councillors voiced their concern, and said such a unique part of the village’s history needed to be up and running again as soon as possible.
