Really nice to see these depictions of Churwell, I remember the three pubs being called Top ole, bottom ole and middle ole, it was pronounced oil but it was a dialect of hole I believe.

With reference to J. Cox's comment. I'm afraid that you wouldn't be likely hear the expression "Middle 'Oile" today. It's more likely to sound like "Tesco".
