The Grade II listed Black Bull is believed to date back to the 17th century. An original fireplace and wooden panelling were found during renovations.
The connections with the Civil War were discussed in an episode of the TV series “The Pubs That Built Britain”.
The plaque reads
“The oldest inn in Otley reputedly drunk dry by Cromwell's troops who camped outside the town on the eve of the Battle of Marston Moor.”
