The Traveller's Rest - Sunniside
Built in 1858 and originally named "The Greyhound Inn". In 1891 the pub was renamed and became "The Board". At this time George Stott was the licensee and he had previously been a butcher at Streetgate.
In 1894 the pub was renamed again and it became "The Travellers Rest". More recently it has been called "The Mean Fiddler" and at the present time it is called "The Fret'n Fiddler". Over the years the licensees have been too numerous to name and at the present time it is closed. This pub is one of the largest in the area and it has been rumoured that the overheads are astronomical!
