The pub – named after the famous Halifax inventor – has been on the market since September 2022.

According to property website RightMove, the pub has been “under offer” for several months.

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “We can confirm that the pub’s final day of trading is Sunday, January 7.

“We thank our loyal staff and customers for their dedication to the pub over the years.

“All staff have been offered jobs at other Wetherspoon pubs in the region.”
