Originally called The Crosse Inn because it stood opposite the
old market cross.
Recorded in 1535, this is the oldest inn in Halifax and stands in
Old Market on the site of the old town market.
From 1818, meetings and rehearsals of the Halifax Quarterly Choral Society were held here and at other local Inns.

Aka The Cross.
Built around 1617.
It was originally known as the Stocks Inn because the town
stocks stood here.
The chimney is dated HE 1636, and there is a carving of a man
and woman in 17th-century dress.
In 1771, a gang of coiners in the pub overheard Abraham Ingham
saying that he knew who had murdered William Deighton.
The gang promptly threw Ingham on the fire – and poured burning coals
down his breeches – killing him.
New House is now a part of the inn.
A mummified cat, found in the rafters at Heptonstall church
after the storm of 1847, was displayed at the inn.
The cat was lost in 1958.
