About Cross Cottage, Haworth
In the 19th century the building was a public house known as the Cross Inn owned by J. & R.R. Thomas, local wine and spirit merchants who also owned the White Lion Hotel. At that time Haworth lay on the main trading route between Bradford and Colne, the steady demand from traffic leaving no shortage of public houses!
In addition to the Cross there was an ale house, now the fish and chip shop, the Black Bull, Kings Arms and White Lion.
The inn was sold as separate lots, the main building was bought by Robert Snowden and established as a grocery shop, which remains today. Original plans can be seen in our
lounge. In 1918, a separate shop was created (Mary Firth’s) and we continue to trade today as
Firth’s of Haworth; renowned for our friendliness and outstanding service.
