blue11265 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I paid a visit to a friends house recently and he showed me a jar of old coins. Whilst sorting through them we found a coin or tolken that had the words Howard Hotel Walkley on it. I know that there is a Howard Hotel in the town center, there is a Howard Rd in Walkley but i cant find any reference to a hotel. Can anyone help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceegee Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 There was a Howard Hotel on Howard Road in Walkley but it was demolished many years ago. If my memory serves me correctly it was on the corner of Fulton Road and Howard Road just around the bend past St Joseph's. I don't know the reason for the demolition or remember seeing any photos of the pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The Howard Hotel was at the top of Howard Road as you come from the South Road end, where the bus lay-by is, next to the old St Joseph's School. I have seen pictures of this pub, but I can't find any on PictureSheffield Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The foundations to this pub still exist.....if you walk down the passage at the back behind the bus stop, its a gateway next to a driveway leading down towards Birkendale View, you can see the stone built foundations as the path descends which would have been the back wall of the beer cellar.

Dawdie Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I've got several photo's of this Hotel,myGt Uncle Charles Strickland ran this until his death in the fifties.I think there are photo's on Picture Sheffield but they will be under Trams.Most of the photo's feature the pub in the background,the trams being the news item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I always thought the Howard Hotel was the pub right at the bottom of Providence road....on that little corner..... and did Howard street run parellel with Providence rd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceegee Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 A bit more information re the Howard Hotel. (96 Howard Road, Walkley being the old address) According to one of my neighbours, the pub itself was a poular local with a snooker/billiards room. He seems to think it was a Teleys pub at the time of its demolition. Anyway the demolition was due to slippage/subsidence of the foundations which may explain why nothing has been built on the site since. He can't be sure of the actual demolition date but thinks it may be circa the early 1970's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested if anyone remembers the Pub on Providence Rd and its name Audrey it was right at the bottom of Provience rd, near a stone wall, just before the cobbled walk that led all the way to walkley bridge....... quite a walk to walk back up. Wonder if that cobbled walks still there, led to a field then a row of terraced houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Just to confuse everyone??? There were two Howard Hotels, one was at number 2 Howard Street, opposite the Station and the other was at number 94 Howard Road, Walkley. Hope this info helps.
