  ACCOMMODATION AND PUBLIC HOUSES IN DIGGLE  
  Over the years Diggle has had probably more than its fair share of public houses.  Currently there are only two:  the Hanging Gate and the Diggle Hotel, both are worth a visit. At various times there have been 5 others, some operational for only a few years. Significantly the now-closed public houses were predominately open when the large number of navvies were working on the tunnels for both the canal and the railway.  
  Bygone Licensed Premises  
 

Diglee Beerhouse situated in the hamlet of Diglee from 1833 to about 1858.

Floating Light  operated as a public house on the old Wakefield to Austerlands (part of Oldham) turnpike road at Standedge on the Huddersfield side of Diggle from about 1843 until it closed in 2000.

Holly Bush located in the hamlet of Harrop Green about 200 yards from the Diggle Canal portal.  Now a dwelling house.  Had a very short life span from about 1865 to 1871.

New Found Out existed in 1868 for an even shorter time than the Holly Bush.  The exact location is not known.

Rising Sun located a few hundred yards from the Hanging Gate in the 1840s and 1850 near to where the Warth Mill is today.
