The Foxglove: the largest public house in the village, it was built in 1868 in a mock Tudor style at the same time as the branch line. It was hoped that Kirkburton would become a junction to an extended line to Barnsley, hence the pub's original name the "Railway Junction", but this never materialised. The public house was more popularly known as the "Three Owls" up until 2000 when it adopted its new name. An extension was built in 2001 which is now the hotel part of the building.
