In 1880 William Cook acquired a licence to well wines, spirits, and beer from these premises and called it “The Black Bull.” Another member of his family James Cook also acquired a licence, his pub was James Cook Wine & Spirit Merchant, Main Street.
William Cook’s public house was called the Black Bull and sat at the corner of Main Street and West Coats Road. The large white building was William Eadie’s property. Mr Eadie went on to own a large pub on that site which is now called Finlay’s.
This is what the pub looks like today…
