Viaduct & Station Hotel, Wicker. When Did they Close?
crookedspire replied to lazarus's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
The one Wicker pub I never set foot in I don't recall it been open when drinking down their. Any ideas when it closed and what was it like inside its now used as a food outlet? -
Yes the Cossack is now history closed in late 2003 , what a small pub with its central U- shaped bar. It came down in August 2007 to be replaced with lawns how exciting is that? I remember going down Attercliffe to Planet or Barcelona and if time went to Av It pub so many places to go its hard to believe. I'm too young to have gone in the Hole In The Wall pub but have heard many stories about it what a shame its all gone instead we sit in front of computers and not mixing like we did back then time for me to go under my rock.

Instead of a clean sweep wholesale demolition of the area why not reuse the better buildings and replace the ugly with quality new builds. The project might have more of a chance in going forward than the standstill we have present. Independent shops could work well in the smaller units and new paving like what's been already done on the Moor?

Recently read a bit about the Link pub at Park Hill flats it claimed that the pub was once the most notorious in the UK along with the Scottish Queen. Also read it was the opposite of that too. Did the Link start well then went the same way as the Cannon I only went in once it was empty then a bit after it shut down ?

crookedspire replied to crookedspire's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
As part of Art Space program to be held this month the derelict Link pub at Park Hill flats will be used by the DJ Mark Fells to board cast recordings from 1992 illegal radio station. -
Me thinks Cameron heading for a fall as the old saying goes give them enough rope they hang themselves. Sheffield has a great history it should be pride of it steelmaking is part of that and its future if given the chance ,the younger generation need real jobs and a future its asking no more than what previous generations had.

Over ten years ago I had a accident that changed my life things were bleak I need a hobby . I noticed that many pubs in my area were closing and often followed by demolition someone suggested perhaps thinking it would give me something to do why not photo pubs ? This was a match made in heaven me been into local history and it give me something to do that would take my mind of things. Back then I didn't own a digital camera so used disposable cameras they were OK for outside shots but fell flat for inside photos. By 2007 closures were rising fast as Pubcos were off loading no hope cases it became a race against time as many were sold for housing. The one thing I soon realised was their was very few inside photos of pubs but it was clear my disposable camera was not going to cut it so I took a gamble and brought my first digital camera a Samsung wow the pictures suddley looked all Frank Bailey . A few years in I splashed out and brought a Cannon Power shot perhaps the best camera Iv had so far . Iv breached out to cover derelict places and buildings but pubs remain my main focus. My collection is huge as you can imagine and Iv had requests from anyone from students to would be authors. Does anyone else photo closed pubs or something similar to what I do?

As someone who photos derelict places around North Derbyshire and Sheffield you can not help wounder what became of the people who worked their after the factory gate closed for the last time? All the skills blood sweat and tears to produce products to sell on the world market all gone , now days we need NVQs to stack shelf's in a supermarket our younger generation will never know the job security that their grandparents knew never have the spending power to enjoy life to the full. Instead we have derelict factories as reminders of our past hey day.

Perhaps its worth going to Meadowhall and asking them if they have any record of opening date of Clock Tower pub they may hold records of last tenants?

Should sex workers have the right to protection - yes , but we need to tackle the drugs trade that often goes in hand with the sex industry. -
