The building has been open as a pub since at least 1824 and the first listed licensee was Robert Greenhalgh, who held the licence for the next 17 years. According to local newspaper reports it was used to hold inquests during the 19th century (the reports mention the location of the inquests). Nobody knows how the pub got its name, though on old maps the stretch of the A6 where the pub is located was originally called Bear Lane. In more recent times it was a B&B though when I was there in May 2023 there was no sign that it still is, and no sign that it still serves food either. It is less than 5 minutes from the Leeds-Liverpool canal so, when it was a B&B, it proved handy for cyclists doing the long distance towpath ride.
