Tim42 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Does any one have any recollections about The Talbot Inn on Talbot road / Duke Street. My grand parents used to run this place then my mother & father took it over in the mid 60s. It had a compulery purchase issued on it as the council wanted to widen the road. The road widening never took place, so another lovely building is lost from Sheffield. It was a stone fronted bow shaped building with a court yard. I think nowdays could have been grade 2 listed. Does any one know where I can get a picture of The Talbot. My parents name is Jack & Audrey Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a story in the Sixties about an electrician who was working in the loft of Talbot and he saw a tin box resting on a roof beam... he opened this box and discovered it was full of victorian "gold soverins"..Has anybody else heard this story ???

PhilipB Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Used to live on Duke Street in the 60's. Talbot Inn did have a bow front, covered in brown ceramic tiles. Lower down that same block there was the Oddfellows Inn. Always thought it a bit funny cos over the road there was / still is the Salvation Army. Both pubs gone but this survived!

It was a lovely building and such a shame to pull it down. i dont know where you will be able to get a photo tough. I have been looking for old photos of this area for ages but as yet no luck. If I find any I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 If you look at "Picture Sheffield .com" there is a picture of Talbot Road with the pub on the corner. I dare say there are also photos of the pub under the heading of "public houses". There's possibly a picture in the book "A Pub on Every Corner" by Douglas Lamb, I don't have a copy but, I'm sure if you ask on here or any of the Sheffield Family History sites someone will come up with a picture.

Suzy Q Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Phil - again! My dad & his bros spent many a happy hour in the "Oddies". Dad used to throw darts for their "B" team, and many "A" team members were pigeon-fanciers, with lofts up on Skye Edge. With regards to the Salvation Army - the officers lived nextdoor to me up City Rd.,(nr. Manfredis), & my Mum worked in the umbrella factory years ago, at the end of Grafton St. The Talbot Inn was a favourite haunt for my best mate's dad. I can see all the little shops around there in my mind's eye, and would give anything for a glimpse back in time as it was - Thorpe's hairdressers & all!
