Hi Paul

I did find some Fairhurst's living in Brightside, when I did my search.

Hi, yes the building is similar isn't it?
I know the Fairhursts came from Barnsley and before that wigan so I tend to think with Charles Buxton (b1845) being a barman it would be more to do with them.

I found a hotel building in a town near Sheffield, it had the very
same caps on the bay windows, but that was the only similarity...
also hubby said not close otherwise...but....Could kick myself for
not posting it, as it may still have been the right place...
