Welcome to the forum by the way! :wave: K x Magneteer 22-03-2005, 16:13 A map I'm looking at shows it being there in 1855, but that may not be the present building ironhorse1 22-03-2005, 16:29 thanks for that if you find out any different could you please let me know. ive have a lot of very old hand painted tiles which i took off the wall's a wile back and there was nothing below them,which tells me they were put there when it was first built sweetdexter 22-03-2005, 17:40 There are lots of photo's of the'Hillsbourgh Inn'. I have a book put out by The Star' More images of Sheffield' In one photo the sign says"HILLSBRO INN" Issac Shires.Don Brewery Ales,Unfortunetly no Date. This was my first watering hole when I was legaly able to drink. That would be 1957.The Landlords name was Wilf, on quiet afternoons he would let you go round the bar and pull your own beer.At that time it was Tennants.A good pint! retep 22-03-2005, 17:53 Are there any marks on the back of the tiles it may help to date it sanman 22-03-2005, 18:16 I've found reference to it in 1852 so we're getting closer. sammysowls 22-03-2005, 19:25 opened in 1851 i know a bloke from when i worked in shakey and his parents where the last ones to have it before it closed down either 50s/60s.this building at one point was been looked into by wetherspoons as well as other buildings in the hilsborugh area ironhorse1 22-03-2005, 20:17 just like to say thanks to everyone so far for all your info and its nice to know im getting closer PopT 23-03-2005, 05:37 I'm sure that I have read somewhere that the inn was built in the 1770's. I think I read it in one of the history of Hillsborough booklets put out by the former local history group. Maybe someone could check it out/ Happy Days Greybeard 23-03-2005, 11:42 Originally posted by PopT I'm sure that I have read somewhere that the inn was built in the 1770's.

Hillsborough by her people: a history of the district from earliest times, by Mathers, Helen, Class Number: 942.821 Hillsborough Local History Group 71p. ill. maps There seems to be only one copy available in all of Sheffield libraries and this is at Hillsborough Library, - for reference only. sammysowls 23-03-2005, 18:14 it was built in 1700s but it was coverted into an inn in 1851 thecliffe 23-02-2011, 11:29 I don't know when Hillsborough was built but can tell you Sheffield Wednesday used to play where the dog track is at Owlerton. Thats where the throwback comes from, 'are you going watch the football at Owlerton' bullerboY 23-02-2011, 11:48 Hillsboro Inn closed in 1960 and was previously used by officers from the barracks on Langsett rd.It is now a coffee shop called Java Lounge. |
