I would have bet money that it wasn't Dewsbury Road before the last photos. I spent 5 years at Cockburn and lived in Primrose Lane for 6 years later on, so I know the area well.It shows how wrong you can be

Looking at the old maps the pub would have been on Derby Crescent?

Got it!28th May 1964 View of the Silver Cross Hotel on Dewsbury Road, number 62. It is situated between the junctions of Silver Cross Street left (where William Wilson had his first Silver Cross Pram factory) and Derby Crescent, right. The Silver Cross Hotel is one of Tetley's Houses.
