G12Ravda Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Barnsley1. Good manager Mick Lee, well versed in the pub trade. His mum & dad had The Wellington, at Darnall, then The Hearts of Oak, at Bradway. His mam wer' a strereo-typical landlady - big, blonde, bejewelled and bossy, when she needed to be! The wer' never much bother in the pubs she ran. Nostalgia rulles heh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-s Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Like i said STILL GOING STRONG it has always had a good clientele even more so on home games at the Lane always full of the Blades faithfull :thumbs up: . Sorry Jack, missed that bit. Good news that, especially that it gets used by Blades fans! Although I'm watching them at the moment and it's like watching paint dry. Come on lads.

USUK Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Mulberry tavern, I used to work next door at Walsh's so it was a bit too handy! One of the lads from Walsh's went to run it for a while - Brian Titterton(?) anybody any idea what happened to him? Also while on the subject there was a busy little corner pub on a back street behind PCL at the bottom of Arundel gate, anybody remember its name and does it still exist? I used to go to school with a Brian Titterton (Tits). Anyone know if this one was a Crookes lad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHYTOT Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Mulberry tavern, I used to work next door at Walsh's so it was a bit too handy! One of the lads from Walsh's went to run it for a while - Brian Titterton(?) anybody any idea what happened to him? Also while on the subject there was a busy little corner pub on a back street behind PCL at the bottom of Arundel gate, anybody remember its name and does it still exist? I "worked" at PCL in the 1970s. Staff would cross the footbridge to go to the Pump (Tetleys) and works used Lord Nelson (Stones). There was also the Truro Tavern (Tennants) and the Matila (Wards) close by. The only one remaining is Nelson. PCL burned down and the fire station occupies the site (ironic innit). A few other pubs round there were Royal Standard ..still going Montgomery. The roof fell in whilst we were playing juke box one lunchtime. Red Lion.. still going. I loved the Truro Tavern. It had a tiny bar about 6 foot across. On one side of the bar top there was a glass case full of pies being cooked by the heat of a light bulb. At the other the landlady cooked chips using a primus stove. They even sold beer. It would be a nice story if the pub had burned down from a chip pan fine. Unfortunately it end up being ploughed in so they could widen St Mary's Gate. This was all in the days when a typical working lunch was a pub pie and 3 pints of bitter. Not much got done in the afternoons. Edited June 23, 2014 by SHYTOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tasha_78_1 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 We frequented the Stone House during the early years of our marriage in the 70`s. Vic Atkinson was the landlord, with his wife Muriel. The bouncers were Bob Hodder and Dave Norton. We had some great evenings there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballista Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 any one remember the Hermitage on London road in the 80s it was very good on a friday/saturday night I remember Newcastle playing at Bramall Lane and the Police advised all the pubs to either close or board the front up, the manageress said she would sort the hooligan geordies out and opened as normal. They wrecked the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM F Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Me and my mates used to go to The Mulberry first, then onto The Stonehouse and usually finished up in Crazy Daizy, sometimes we would go to Romeo and Juliets but only if we got a bit more dressed up. I remember the first time i went in The Stonehouse and they had the courtyard with the ceiling that looked like the night sky, i was pretty wobbly when i went in and i thought bl@@dy hell whats in my beer tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
