if you zoom out one more, you can see what looks like a beer cellar door too, must have been a pub!

 

That was the top freedom mate. There were two freedoms - the freedom house was still going til a few years ago but is flats now. I think the other was the freedom view. Not been open during my drinking days.

The top freedom was on the other side of the road and only closed recently, this one looks like it's very long time since being pub.

The Freedom View was number 26 Walkley Road not South road but I do remember the place at the top of Palm Street being a beer off shop in the late sixties and early seventies.

We used to go there and buy draught wine and sherry, you had to take your own bottle though.

Yes that's what I was trying to say sorry - maybe ive gotten the names mixed up but the picture you've posted was definitely the freedom.

That doesn't show up in my Sheffield Pub guide

 

Perhaps it wasn't a pub afterall. Jaffa says he remembers it as an offy.

 

Looks quite like a pub though!

HI Eccoray, I remember a pub called the Granville corner of

Suffolk rd and bottom of granville rd in the 60s, when it was knocked

down they built a car show room opposite the old goods yards.

You're right ash it does look like it was once a pub but i've just been looking through the old Kelly's Street directory and in 1879 number 386 South Road was Hezekiah Kersey a provision dealer. In 1911 Mr Rowland Hill grocer.

 

None of the books of Sheffield pubs have it down as a pub.

This pub was the Montgomery, it's top floor was blown off by a bomb during the war and it was a Tetleys house.
