The Odfellows Arms in Front Street

I have just discovered from resaerching the census results that my Great Grandparents ran the Odfellows Arms in Witton Gilbert round about the turn of the last century. His name was John McCormick and he was also a coal miner or coal hewer, running the pub in his own time. He and his wife had 5 daughters named Mary, Ellen, Alice, Rose and Ena. Alice was my grandmother. I would love to know if there is still an inn there in Front Street and if anyone has any memories of it!

RE: RE: The Odfellows Arms in Front Street

Hi there! I am doing research into my family history and found in the 1871 census that my great-great-great grandfather ran the Oddfellows Arms in Witton Gilbert too. He lived there with his wife and 4 or 6 children. I have no idea if it is still there.
