In the 1830s, the pub was built as a part of the Grove Brewery, and an archway is inscribed Grove Brewery.

In 1906, brewing was discontinued after the business – and around 13 of their houses – was taken over by Whitaker's. The property was sold.
The brewery was used by Harvey & Company. The brew-house was used as a biscuit factory.
The brewery owned several local pubs including Shoulder of Mutton Hebden Bridge, Fox & Goose Hebden Bridge [1859], White Lion Heptonstall, General Rawdon Luddendenfoot, Delvers' Arms Midgley, Bird-i-th-Hand Warland, Poultry Dealers Arms Todmorden, and Town Hall Sowerby Bridge.
