Janner Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The Pheasant used to be a refuelling station during the Star walk. I remember before the war crowds of spectators cheering on the walkers, several of them used to down pints offered to them, all great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 did anyone use to go to the pheasant pub at sheffield lane top in the 90s. No, but my Dad lived in the Magnet, did all his betting out of there......in fact the only decent photo i have of him is outside the Magnet in the 50s.

Debs1 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Any one know when the pheasant pub at sheffield lane top was built, was it an old coaching inn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I would guess it dates from around the time of the First World War. It doesn't feature in a 19th century list of coaching inns that I have. It's shown in the 1925 Kelly's Directory (with Robert Rodgers as licensee) but I can't find it in the 1905 directory or the 1911 census return.

The Pheasant goes a lot further back hillsbro, Sheffield History has it listed as far back as 1828. It is shown in the Kelly's 1854 directory as; Pheasant Inn, Sheffield Lane top, Ecclesfield, Aaron Ashton. m&p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Aaron Ashton (1797-1861) appears in the 1851 and 1861 census returns as keeper of the Pheasant at Sheffield Lane Top, with his son Charles Ashton, a "publican and farmer" keeping the Pheasant in 1871 and 1881, but then the entries seem to disappear. And as hillsboro wrote, there seems to be no record of the Pheasant in directories etc. around the turn of the last century. Could there perhaps have been an 'old' Pheasant and a 'new' Pheasant?
