The Commercial Inn black plaque

Sowerby, Calderdale, England, United Kingdom

The Commercial Inn Situated alongside the Rochdale Canal, this building has been a public house since the mid 19th century. It is not included in the 1845 list of inns, but is marked on local maps soon after then. Originally named The Commercial Inn, the pub later became The Lock Keepers, after the

adjacent Tuel Lane canal lock. Later still, it became The Wharf - the fourth public house of that name in Sowerby Bridge. Once again, it is now The Commercial Inn.
