Otley has perhaps more then its fair share of small pubs -this one-The Black Bull- in the market square is where it is reputed that some of Cromwells army stayed the night before the final battle of the English Civil war at Marston Moor-Whatever your views about Cromwell you have to respect his troops fitness-it is about 25 miles to Marston Moor from here-not sure if too many people today would like to walk 25 miles and then the same day fight a decisive battle!!
Anyway here's a sketch of the pub in the market square today
