Real Ale Ray left this review about Shears Inn
Only a short walk from the Cross Keys, this was another good pub and well worth a visit. This pub does have a good selection of cask ale. This is mainly a food led pub, with the majority of the customers dining. However you don't feel out of place just popping in for a drink. Six handpumps serving TT Landlord, Boltmaker, Knowle Spring, Stancill Blonde & Climax and Black Hole Golden Ale. Obviously I went for the Climax.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Shears Inn
Right down in a now quiet valley in the shadow of Shaw Lodge Mills, with no real indication that you are actually relatively close to the town centre. Also looks like a country inn as you approach, although it has been opened out at some stage (and extended slightly at the front) to leave a single combined bar and dining area. With four of the six handpumps in use, three regular Timothy Taylor beers - Landlord, Boltmaker and Knowle Spring - plus Pennine's IPA as the changing guest on my visit.

Out of the way pub which, as noted below, is located down a cobbled winding road that passes round the back of an impressive mill complex. Slightly mimsy dining refit inside but nice enough, discrete drinking areas with some U-shaped fabric banquettes by the windows. Outside drinking area overlooking Hebble Brook which in retrospect I should have made a beeline for. Six cask, probably three too many given the location. 3x Tim Taylor, 2x Cooper Hill and a Milestone. My Cooper Blonde was serviceable but felt a bit aged (NBSS 2). Amusement provided via the fishwives recounting the latest scraps and gossip from the HX postcode area. Unlikely I’d make a point of schlepping out this far again but worth checking out of you’re new to the town. 6.5
