Rushcart - Sowerby Green, Sowerby

Several inns stand as stopping points on the annual Sowerby Bridge Rushbearing Festival Procession. Central to them is The Rushcart in the hilltop village of Sowerby, where the Sunday procession begins.

The Rushcart is a relatively new name - previously it was known as the Star. In the early 19th century, John 'Almighty' Whiteley married the widowed landlady. He was a local Constable, lay preacher and something of a character.

In 1837 he rebuilt a cottage adjoining the pub for preaching meetings. This still remains, adorned with curious grotesques. The sale of liquor was suspended while meetings were in progress. Whiteley's downfall began after he advertised in local newspapers for a wife and he ended up destitute. It is not clear if the two events were related.
