Historic Interest
This originally opened in the 1860s as the Carpenters Arms with the development of the area into workers' cottages and local industry. The railway opened in 1858, followed by the gas works in 1864. The pub was renamed after Viscount Holmesdale, who was the local MP 1859 to 1868, at a time when the pub was also used as a Masonic lodge. Homesdale Road was originally called Brick Kiln Lane due to the large brickfield that once existed nearby ("Homesdale" has always been spelt without the L). The original pub sign showed an earlier Lord Holmesdale (as portrayed by Joshua Reynolds), who was General Wolfe's commander at Quebec in 1759 as General Jeffery Amherst and received his peerage in 1776 as 1st Baron Amherst of Holmesdale.
