Stubbing Wharf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stubbing Wharf ^[1] public house is an eighteenth century Inn located alongside the Leeds-Rochdale canal, in the village of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England.

A strong focal point of the local community, the Stubbing Wharf, (or as it is sometimes affectionately known, the 'Stumbling Dwarf'), is known for its energetic approach towards providing entertainments and events for its patrons. This has consistently been true for many years, the traditions of the pub seeming to dictate their own terms irrespective of owner.

The pub has been frequented by many locally famous figures such as the artist Edward Cronshaw and audio-technology innovator Kenneth Farrar, and was even mentioned in a poem of the same name by former Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes in his book, 'Birthday Letters'.^{[2] [3]}
