The Dyers Arms was situated on Old Westgate.
This pub was called the Black Tulip during the 1970s when I was a P.C. stationed at Dewsbury.

I'm fairly certain I won a competition at Batley Boy's High School, to come up with the best name and picture for the sign for this pub when it was renamed 'The Black Tulip'. I was meant to go to the 'grand opening' and receive my prize but didn't go. I was just too modest and shy !. I only ever went in once , years later. Loved the atmosphere and loud music but it wasn't really my scene. I think the teacher who did the competition was Mr Hallet, or something similar, so I assume he was related somehow to the management of the Black Tulip ?. Mr Hallet was my first year History Teacher. I hated History at school but it’s good to recall bygone times ! Anyone able to corroborate any of this ?.
