An old sketch of a coach and four passing the old Fox Inn, Brotherton. Though not a true coaching in, it was well known to animal drovers as it was formerly a drovers' house kept by Mr. Robert Jenkinson, who had plenty of accommodation room for the great droves of cattle which periodically came from the north. The Old Fox stood at the junction of the two great branches of the Great North Road and thus drew custom from those travelling to Wetherby, Catterick, Bowes, and Appleby, and the other by Tadcaster, York, Northallerton, and Darlington
