dragonlady5 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I remember the Cross Pub.It has been there for years and years. The bus used to stop there. If you keep the pub on your left and keep walking you come to the fairy steps. You had to be quiet walking up them and make a wish. The pub was named after a saxon cross was found there. The cross is now in High Bradfield Church. Across the road stood the Post Office and local shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalRegular Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I remember the Cross very well...had my (first) stag night in there in 1977 when it was owned by Jack Mirfin, sadly no longer with us. The pub closed around 1978/9 and the house is currently up for sale. Norman and Lynne Verona, the current owners, have now moved to France.

RoyalRegular Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 he's still around....he played with Dizzy Club for a while and what a great band that was. I saw him only yesterday at High Bank petrol station and he looks better than he has for some time. I remember him at the Horns folk club years ago when he was about 13. I'd just learned a blues piece on guitar by Stefan Grossman called Hard Hearted Hannah, he recognised it and said could he try......and the little git played it much better than I did!

Chipmunk Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes, used to go there in my teens, although it was converted into cottages quite a few years ago. Shame really as The Plough was never as good and it's the only other pub there, unless you fancy hiking up the hill to High Bradfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmel Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I was up in Sheff visiting my Mum yesterday and for 'old times sake' bought a Property Telegraph The Cross (or what use to be the Cross) was up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 My mate & I went there once in the early 60's, they had music upstairs but it was full of spoilt brat's with their sports cars parked outside so we never went again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
