The Dog and Gun Inn lies in Malsis in Yorkshire, within close proximity to the town of Keighley, a place that beholds a long history dating back to the 9th century with its entry in William The Conqueror’s doomsday book.
Keighley was once known as ‘Chicehlai’ 100 years previously - the meaning of the name was ‘the field belonging to ‘Chyya’. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Keighley and the areas around the town such as Malsis saw much prosperity in the wool and cotton industry.
These days nearby Keighley offers one of the largest shopping centres in Yorkshire along with Keighley’s traditional and infamous Yorkshire market, which attracts visitors from all around.
Keighley and the nearby town of Malsis are easily accessible by bus or train from surrounding cities such as Leeds, Skipton, Bradford and Halifax, making them ideal for a trip out and a good pub lunch.
The Dog and Gun Inn remains true to its historic services for nurturing weary travellers and even today this stunningly atmospheric building is a traditional family ’stop en-route’ for locals and visitors seeking good pub food, often popular with visitors passing through to Haworth in search of the literary homeland of the Brontë sisters.
