Magneteer Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 A map I'm looking at shows it being there in 1855, but that may not be the present building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdexter Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 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!
