Lockwood

Back to the Penistone Line Ale Trail Homepage

Lockwood, a suburb of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, boasts a rich industrial heritage. Originally part of the Crosland family estate, it transitioned to the Lockwood family after local disputes. The area flourished during the Industrial Revolution, notably with the establishment of Bentley & Shaw’s brewery in 1795, where Timothy Bentley introduced the innovative Stone Square brewing method. The impressive 32-arch Lockwood Viaduct, completed in 1848, stands as a testament to Victorian engineering. Lockwood also became a hub for engineering, with David Brown Ltd. producing gearboxes and military equipment.

The Shoulder of Mutton in Lockwood is a historic pub with origins dating back to at least 1771, when Grace Arlom was recorded as the licensee. Originally a farmhouse, it was transformed into a public house and became a central part of the Lockwood community. The current building, reconstructed in 1927 by the Lockwood Estate, retains many original features, including two snug rooms flanking a tiled entrance lobby, dark wood interiors, and leaded windows. Recognized by CAMRA for its heritage interior. With its traditional charm and community-focused atmosphere, the Shoulder of Mutton continues to be a cherished local establishment.
