Hi Spike,
I'm surprised aswell! you got no reply! as there will be be alot of bumph about the old cherrytree pub as it was on one of the most prominent corner/crossroads of Huddersfield town centre in late victorian and early 20th century. Near the railwaystaion enroute to Edgerton where the upper classes and mill owners lived. My g/ or-granddad was the publican at the Queens hotel about then.
Did you find your info on Emma Jane sims

Hi there
Here's a photo of the Cherry Tree, which I've just scanned from an old photo I've just found in my mother's loft
Sorry can't post it because it keeps saying I have to read the copyright which I have done. I'll post it when I sort it out, but it's a nice clear photo

Many thanks for that,look forward to seeing it as & when you can sort it out
Regards
Steve
