This bill dates from early 1810 when John Bradley was tenant of the Sun Inn which was at no's.62-64 High St. at the end of Middle Row Later that year he took over the Black Bull Inn at no's 54-56 and renamed it "The Sun".
(information from the notebooks of Dr.Rowley)
The original inn building at 62-64 later became Manbys Ironmongers and is now home to a shop called "Phase Eight".

To my knowledge, there were two Sun Inns in Skipton. The 1st occupied the building known for years as Manbys Ironmongers and recently as Base . It was the Sun Inn before Manby moved in to the premises in around 1817.
The 2nd Sun Inn was in a building that was knocked down some time ago and replaced by the building currently occupied by Boots. The old inn was also called the Black Bull. I'm not clear on the dates though. Robert | 11/01/2012 13:03:37 | re photo: 464
I have just found these great photos. looking through them i was especially interested in a comment by Barbara Dixon saying she used to visit 9 Water street. This was home to much of my family, the Hudsons until at least 1911 and probably for some time after this. I would love to know if there is some connection with Barbara.

Is the Fleece Inn the same building we see today? Also, can anyone identify the old Star Inn? Robert Coates | 29/12/2011 17:22:32 | re photo: 666
I identify the commerical inn on the left, but was there a pub also on the right, just creeping in to shot? Rob Coates | 28/12/2011 03:42:17 | re photo: 259
If you view "photo row 00158" you can just see the Bay Horse Inn where your grandmother was born. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:58:46 | re photo: 77
This is one of the few photos where you can see the old Bay Horse Inn standing. It is the low roofed building on the left edge of the picture. Can anyone estimate the age of this photo?
Neither the library nor Yorkshire Building Society (which replaced the Bay Horse) are built. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:55:21 | re photo: 158

You're right. It is the taller 3 story building we can see on the end of the row. Until recently it was occupied by the retailer David Goldie. At one time Dr (later Lord) Moran lived there, who was Winston Churchill's physician. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:47:53 | re photo: 144
Scales and Sons is now Stean & Simpson's. Next door is Yorkshire Bank, still standing, which replaced the Bay Horse Inn. On the other side was the King's Arms, demolished in the 50s/60s along with the low building to the right. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:40:24 | re photo: 132
I think the Bay Horse Inn stood on the other side of the street. Yorkshire Bank currently stands there. The building in this picture is occupied by HSBC. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:18:18 | re photo: 77
I think the Nag's Head you mention may have once been a pub.
Sadly, most or all of the buildings in the picture are gone. Robert | 26/12/2011 18:06:58 | re photo: 513
The building still exists. Now a hairdresser's. Robert | 26/12/2011 17:56:40 | re photo: 504
