fox20thc Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Closure of the pub for conversion to apartments announced today A HISTORIC Sheffield pub which opened more than 200 years ago is to close – another victim of the recession. The Appleyards bought the Robin Hood Inn at Little Matlock in Stannington, 13 years ago to save it from closure but now the family are preparing to shut the doors themselves, saying they can no longer continue putting their money into the business. A planning application has been made to the council to convert the grade II-listed building at the end of Greaves Lane, off Wood Lane, into three apartments and the family plan to move into them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more Robin Hood pub? Can they do that? How many flats are they going to turn it into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gularscute Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm really upset about this and quite can't believe it's going to happen, it's awful, I love the place. I don't blame the owners for doing it though, it sounds like they'd be absolutely ruined if they didn't sell it for apartments. It's been there since 1804 and within 10 months of me moving back to the area, pfft, gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gularscute Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 What a shame, and such an old pub as well. It is a shame. A piece of history, if not gone, turned into something that isn't open to the public anymore. A family losing their home and a business that has been a labour of love for them. All because the economy has been carelessly hamstrung and because people would rather drink cheap booze from Tesco or go to Wetherspoons than have a nice walk and spend some time in a special place. At least The Nag's Head is thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Does anybody know if it has changed ownership in last couple of months, we went there recently for Sunday lunch and there was nobody in, the food was not as good as on previous occasions. How did you get served if no one in?Is it self service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
