william666 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I was reminded the other day of a pub supposed to be opposite the old tramsheds at Tinsley. Now I suppose that the tramsheds, and the whole area, has been totalled a long time ago but the pub (I'm led to believe)was left standing amidst the desolation. This guy who told me all this was the son of the landlord, a man with the surname of King. Does anyone remember the pub, or indeed,the landlord? The guy, the son, was one of twins but they look more like Dud 'n Pete than twins. the pub opposite the tramsheds was called Banks Hotel on the other corner was the tinsley hotel on lockhouse lane, and the commercial was on the end of weedon street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerus1 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I think the pub you are all referring to at the side of Tinsley Wire (Billy Cooks) was the Burns Hotel, The Commercial was across the road just by the entrance to the tram sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toastmaster Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The last landlord and landlady were Arnie & Audrey who left to run the Rutland Arms in Homesfield and then moved on to run the Wincobank Hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
