Star Inn Danville Street

[Eleke95]

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

My mum was born on Danville Street and often talks about it and the people from there. I told her about this thread and she remembers the Star Inn. She is Iris Smith and was born at no. 48 and lived there with her mum Lily, grandparents George and Lily and Cousin Ike Smith. She says she can remember Ellis' Shop on the corner, Janet's shop, and various people including Elmore's, Matthew's, Holmes's, Young's, Mrs. King, Eric Barnett and Lawrence Brookes(I think these two were friends of Ike Smith). Does anyone else remember these and I will pass your message on to her.

My mum remembers Frank Howarth, please read:thumbsup: the other thread I have put on here to see if you remember any of the people I have mentioned. My Mum is Iris (nee Smith) from no. 48 Danville Street.

Hi Arthur! I will be seeing my mum (Iris Smith, Ike's cousin) tomorrow and I will pass this on! Ike is still alive and well and lives on Herries Road near Northern General. Don't know about Eric and Lol but will try and find out and let you know so keep checking the threads!! Lisa

That would be fantastic if you could. Do you ever remember anyone talking about a WW1 Bomb hitting Danville Street.

Danville Street was damaged by the German Navy in WW1.

Hi Arthur, just noticed you were on line and thought I'd let you that Lol Brookes is alive and well and living in Skegness(according to my mum when I saw her yesterday). Still trying to find out about Eric for you! Lisa:)

Re Danville Street, my grandmother lived there, at No 58, for many years until about 1954. I remember a family called Hall lived opposite, and below my grandmother's was a family called Elmore (James was the oldest son), a woman called Mrs Brown. A family called Lowe (son Chester) lived in the house immediately behind my grandmother's (the houses were back to back). I also remember a family called Matthews lived just above grandmother's, and across the road there was a little old lady called Mrs King, who had a grand-daughter called Carol. Up the hill there was a Mrs Hartley, who took bets for Dobbie Dobson (he lived on the next street). One the same side as my grandmother's, a few doors up, there was a family called Webster, with a son called Terry.

Lower down, and across the road, just above the Star pub, was a family called Smith.

Anyone know what happened to all these people?
