Situated on Elton Head Road, The Prop & Pony became transformed into Yanks some time in the 1980s, a popular era for the theme pub. The name was obviously a reference to the United States Air Base at Burtonwood, a throw back to the Second World War. Neon lights and US style adverts were much in evidence, but Burtonwood Bitter was drunk in greater quantities than Budweiser or Schlitz .
