cloudforest Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Not been in new leisure centre so don't know how good it is. I did use to enjoy a Sheffield brewed pint of Stones though in the Hind, Homestead and Clifton. Steel works still hanging on in there but most of the larger stores have moved out of Rotherham town centre to Parkgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 near the hospital on the way to a reservoir Whiston always reminds me of a Derbyshire village. The chef at the Sitwell in the 70's was an Austrian guy called Helmut, he played in the same football team as me, his nickname was crash hat.

cloudforest Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hind is on East Bawtry Road, the dual carriageway between Whiston Crossroads and Worry Goose roundabout. It was built post war and was a really popular pub in the '70s and '80s. Feoffes wasn't opened as a pub until '81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudforest Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Belvedere was ok to call in for a quick couple of pints on the way to somewhere. I can remember spending one evening in there during a power cut when it was one of few pubs in area to have hand pumps. Must have been in early 80s as I remember we were drinking Whitbread Queens Ale which was a lovely pint but not brewed for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
