The Black Bull, formerly known as the Black Bull Inn and Black Bull Hotel, is a public house in Preesall, Lancashire, England. Dating to 1762,[1] it stands on Park Lane.[2]
The inn's first licensee was John Bamber, who ran it between 1776 and 1789.[3] Between 1853 and 1892, the role was filled by John Parkinson.[4] In 1872, during Parkinson's tenure, a "syndicate of men" from Barrow-in-Furness stayed at the inn during their search for iron ore in the area. None was to be found, but they did discover a bed of rock salt, from which they took a sample. Upon returning to the inn, Parkinson's 17-year-old daughter, Dorothy, processed the sample by dissolving, filtering and boiling it, thus creating the very first example of Preesall salt.[5] In 1902, Preesall Salt Works was built to the north of the village's salt marshes, on the eastern banks of the River Wyre.[1] Dorothy married another John Parkinson and spent her life as a farmer's wife at Hackensall Hall Farm, where she raised nine children. She died in 1925.[6]
The current licensee, Lee Bowser,[7] took over in September 2022, succeeding Anthony Gills.
