The pub was known by the locals as the Wrose Bull, due apparently to there being a bull in the farm field at the side of the pub. My Grandfather James William Kendall of Windhill Shipley was the landlord. When he died. my step Grandmother Ellen Kendall decided to retire after his death and requested the new pub on Wrose Road was called the Wrose Bull. When I was younger I remember the landlord in the New Wrose Bull having lots of pictures of the Old Wrose Bull on the walls.
