The owner of a remote 18th-century pub in the Yorkshire Dales has applied to turn the building into a tearoom and living accommodation for herself.
Joanne Cox has been the landlady of The Moorcock Inn at Garsdale Head, between Sedbergh and Hawes, since 2016, but has applied for change of use consent from the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority after struggling to keep the business viable.
It is close to Garsdale Station on the Settle to Carlisle line and its location is comparable to other remote inns that trade successfully, such as Tan Hill. Built in the 1740s for the coaching trade, the Moorcock certainly has an intriguing history. In the Georgian period it was called The Guide Post, and in the 1870s it was a regular haunt of navvies building the nearby railway line.
