The Spring Mill Tavern was situated at 431 Halifax Road. This pub was previously known as The Sandknockers. During the 1800s, sandknocking was a local trade whereby local millstone grit was crushed into sand particles which was then spread on flagstone floors. The action of clogs on the sand scoured the flags clean
