The Boot and Shoe Inn beerhouse was in existence by 1865, when Joseph Clegg was the licensee.[2]

The premises was acquired by Bentley and Shaw, Limited of Lockwood in the 1890s but later leased to John Ainley and Sons, Limited of Lindley Moor for a period of 10 years commencing on 18 January 1914.

According to the 1901 Census, the beerhouse was situated in the Prince Royd area of Halifax Road, somewhere between the East Street and Birchencliffe Road junctions.

The premises closed in 1924 after being referred to the Compensation Authority by the Brewster Sessions of 1922.[3] It was seemingly then divided into two residential properties.[4]
