The Boot & Shoe reportedly opened circa 1831 and remained a beerhouse until its closure around the end of 1946 after being referred to the Compensation Authority for closure in May 1846.[1]
It seems likely the beerhouse was opened by shoe maker James Garside (born c.1806) whose wife Betty was the licensee by 1879. Their son Joseph was the licensee from 1883 to 1896.
The final licensee, Holden Whiteley, died on 15 December 1946.
