Awadan Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Does anyone have any memories or especially photos, of the British Oak Pub that used to be on Carbrook Street at Attercliffe? My grandparents, Herbert and Edith Allsop, used to have this pub when my father was a young lad and although he can tell many a tale about some of the regulars, we have never seen a photo of it. I have looked in many Attercliffe history-type publications but without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCPLOD178 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Please look at 'The Coldwell Family of The British Oak, Carbrook Street'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awadan Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Can you be more specific about where I might find that information? I googled it but couldn't find anything. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCPLOD178 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hello, I have just spent the best part of an hour writing about the pub and my family, the Coldwells, who ran it from mid Victorian times to late 1800's, and then the forum required me to log in again and refused the password. I really should have written it on the word processor and then copied and pasted it in. My fault. If I have time I will do it again. Nice to discover someone who knows about the pub and who may be connected with it. KInd Regards, Harry Bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awadan Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've had that happen to me before so I can understand your frustration. If you do get the chance to rewrite it, I'd be really interested to read about your family and the British Oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Awadan, I tried five times to post the subject, and once to reply to you, but I've been either timed out or nothing is being published. I don't know what to do next. Harry P.C.

gmarshman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I used the British Oak pub on occasions, would slip out of the Firth Derihon factory opposite for a few pints.in the early 1960's. The lads from the night shift used the pub regularily , but they slipped out of the back door of the factory by the power supply. Am trying to remember who the landlord was from all those years ago 1961 to 1964 ish. Gary Marshman North Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
