What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The Half Moon Inn. The original Half Moon Inn, first recorded in 1661, was for many generations the town's largest and most important inn with fashionable Assembly Rooms and extensive outbuildings. "The True Briton" stage-coach stopped here en route between Liverpool and Hull. The inn was rebuilt by the Goole architect H. B. Thorp in 1890. Hull Cooperative Society moved from Churchside to this building in 1937. Recorded plaque organisation: Howden Civic Society.
The Half Moon Inn, established by 1661, served as a vital hub for travel and social gatherings, hosting the "True Briton" stage-coach between Liverpool and Hull, and later became the headquarters of the Hull Cooperative Society in 1937.
