Shears Inn

The Shears Inn, at Paris Gates, is one of the most famous pubs in Halifax. It is a quaint tavern or inn next to an ancient pack-horse bridge, “Boy’s Bridge” over the former canal and the Hebble Brook.

It has one of the most unusual approaches in the business, along the cobbled streets in the shadow of Holdsworth’s Shaw Lodge Mills complex.

It lies on the Hebble Trail, a pedestrian and cycle route into Halifax along the course of the “Calder Navigation” from Salterhebble to Halifax centre.
The Hebble runs into the river Calder.
