Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail, 21 November 1913: ORDER OF THE BUFFALOES. LOCAL MEMBER HONOURED. A very successful meeting of the members of the Royal Jubilee Lodge of the RAOB was held at the Durham Hotel, West Hartlepool, on Wednesday night, the occasion being the raising of Brother W Banks to the third degree, and the presentation of a jewel for attendance to Brother Cambridge. Provost Tempest Smethurst, ROH, Past Grand Primo of England travelled from Bury to perform the functions.... Amongst an assembly which taxed the accommodation of the Lodge room to the utmost were the Mayor of West Hartlepool, Brother W J Coates, ROH... And J Farndale, PG, Treasurer, Middlesbrough and Cleveland province... A E Farndale ...

 

The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) is one of the largest fraternal movements in the United Kingdom, The order started in 1822 and spread throughout the former British Empire and elsewhere in the world. It is known as the "Buffs" to members.

 

Buffalo Lodges existed widely throughout the former British Empire. Buffalo lodges have also existed in other countries not associated with the empire or its successor the Commonwealth of Nations such as the United States of America. Lodges have existed onboard ships, at army bases, and Royal Air Force bases. Bletchley Park had a lodge at its local pub. Most of the post-Second World War West German Lodges were related to the British Forces. In the United Kingdom hundreds of pubs have been home to Buffalo Lodges. The largest Buffalo order in history, based purely on the number of dispensations issued, is the Grand Lodge of England (the Birmingham section). The GLE has issued over 10,672 "dispensations" to establish lodges in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and other places around the world.

 

There are still a number of lodges worldwide that come under the Grand Lodge of England directly, such as Eastern Lodge 8686 in Nova Scotia.
