Otley Ginger Beer Shop
Otley Ginger Beer Shop
South East, 52.15588,1.22458
Closed: between 1840 and 1920
Chapel Rd
grid reference TM 206 557
This is now called Kersey Cottage.
Tithe Map 1840: 372 cottage, owned by Mary Ann Goodwin; tenant William Bennett, whose main profession was shoemaker.
Steven Podd reports that in the 1841 census the premises are described as a ‘ginger beer shop’. (but from the transcriptions seen, the word ‘ginger’ must be obscure in the original document, and may have transcribed as ‘Stings’).
Bennett seems to have moved to the White Horse around 1844-6 (hence innkeeper trade in 1851).
