glynn Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi Everyone, I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can remember a pub called 'Star Inn' on Danville Street at Burngreave/Pitsmore. Thanks Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taine Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 i lived at 109 danville street until i was 12 years old i often went to the star inn with a jug for my grandad he lived on danville mount i also used to take his betting slip and money to a man who lived on the terrace opposite to the one that had the entrance to the allotments. we used to play on the hill at the top of danville street and throw stones at the boys who lived in the lodge at the gates of burngreave cemeterary on melrose road, until the local bobby gave us a clip- an a stern warning!!!!!
