Angilaruk Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Do ya mean the one that was on Bradfield Road? If so, my Mum worked there when Glyn Gregory was Landlord. She did the tea time shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It was on the corner of Bradfield Road. I spent most of my youth in there with my best mate Angie!! We used to drink in there first then went down town to Roxy's nightclub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I used to drink in the Royal in the late eighties/early nineties. Shirley was the landlady. Fab days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Been in there a few times early/mid 50's. I was intrigued by the terms 'was' and 'used' on the thread, so I did a quick thrash on 'street view'. Now it's a KFC. That's progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a 40th birthday party recently for the guy who was the landlady's son - was great to meet up with some of the old faces. How many people are going to remember a KFC with such affection? Precious few..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Does anyone remember the old guy who used to play the piano in there. He played it very badly and used to stand up from time time whilst playing. The other memory was the free snuff on the bar which was in the biggest snuff container I have ever seen. It was a pair of rams horns with a silver snuff box set into the base. Does anyone remember this? Was this pub built onto the former site of the Owlerton Manor House?

Happy Days PopT Owlerton Hall, The hall stood with its back to Penistone Road and faced south west, diagonally across to Bradfield Road which joins Penistone Road at this point, The Royal Hotel forming the corner of these two roads.
