It was the Kings Arms Hotel that stood on Commercial Street.

Wasn`t that the one with the snooker table in if so I had many a pint watching the blokes play.

If it is the Kings Arms Hotel that ALANRADCLIFF is referring to, it must have closed at sometime around 1970 ?

I started drinking in our town pubs in 1972,

and don't recall the Kings Arms on Commercial Street being open then.

 

Kidorry, I do know it had a snooker table.

Could it have been the one that turned into a Chinese restaurant?

I remember going downstairs to one in the middle of the block on Commercial Street, that would have been in the early 70s.

That was the Gambit on the other side of the road.

The revolving door was one of only two in Sheffield pubs, the other was in the Athol on the corner of Charles St, the pubs still there but its a slot machine place. The Kings Arms was a Higsons pub, they were a Liverpool Brewery, its logo was a cut out barrel in the shape of an "H"

That's the name I was looking for , the Gambit which was higher up from the Gas company. I can't remember the Kings Arms then if it was across the road.
