I have had thre chance at looking at material about bentley's Milnshaw brewery: It started by Nicholas bentley c 1868 close to the Blockade in King St, moving later into Milnshaw Lane. We can assume that Malt St was named because of the brewery's closeness. In 1905 the firm had premises:- Milnshaw Lane ( inc the off-license still at the top), Cotton St, The Junction ( St James St) /New Brewery Inn ( Maudsley st)/Borough Arms (Oak St)/Blockade ( King St)/Railway (Huncoat)/Farrier's Arms (?)/Cattle market (King St)

By the time the firm was bought out by John Smith's Tadcaster Brewery in 1924, they had acquired the Abbey (Bank St)/The Spread Eagle beerhouse (Blackburn)/Bay Horse beerhouse (Colne)/The Duke of Buccleugh (Waterfoot) and the George & Dragon (Barrowford) Several members of the Bentley family were licensees in the pubs, and they held shares in the company.

Where was the Farrier's Arms?
