This old Tetley pub was transfered to Burtonwood in its declining years, but that failed to save it. After Kelvin Flats were demolished much of its trade disappeared and the pub closed.
This however was not the end of the tale as it soon re-opened as the Hillsborough Hotel. It is now a favourite on Sheffields real ale circuit.
The change of name is not the first that the pub had seen. It was originally knbown as The Hero And His Horse. In those days the Crown Brewery was situated directly across the road. Samuel Berry's Crown Brewery was taken over by Birk's of Lady's Bridge, who were taken over by Duncan Gilmour. Gilmour's were themselves taken over by Tetley in 1954. Berry's derelict brewery still stands across the road from the Hillsborough.
