The Pheasant pub Sheffield Lane Top

Looks like it could become a KFC after all. They withdrew their planning permission application which involved demolishing the existing building. They have now submitted new plans which involve keeping the existing building.

Sad that it's closed, played there a couple of times and saw some great music. Lucy Kaplansky being one I remember.

If this is the right Pheasant Pub,(Sheffield Woodlands) in Sheffield, my wife's grandparents used to own it, in the late 1930s and into the 1940s. Her grandparents were Clara and Charles Britton. While my wife's father was in the RAF, my wife's older sister and mother lived with the Brittons, in the early 1940s, during the war. Many American soldiers would frequent The Pheasant and my wife remembers singing "Pistol Packin' Momma", for an American GI, named Batlow and she received a box of jellies. During the war, getting sweets of any kind was quite rare.

As well, before opening for the day's business, my wife and her sister would be allowed to bring out Smith's Crisps, to replenish the bar.

These are fond memories, from a troubled time long ago.

I used the pheasant for quite a few years as my local. Used to go and watch Frank White there every week. First landlord I knew there was called graham. Then mick and Lorraine took it over. Remember Lorraine passing away,tragic that was. My old neighbours from elm lane lived and died in there,George and Claire halley
