MYPATCH Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone recall this pub still being open or the building stilling being there in the early 1970s? I seem to recall the building being there all on its own but not sure if it had closed down by then.This would be 1973.The bulding seemed to be the only building there on that part of FitzWilliam street which was the bottom part nearer to the Moor and on the left side as you went down to The Moor. I wonder if this area was flattened after bombing in The Sheffield blitz,does anyone remember that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYPATCH Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 The pub had closed by the early 1970's then! By the early 1940s even! DOES anyone know if the building was still there in the early 1970s? If it was still there,DOES anyone know why it it had remained standing all those years? I know many places weren't able to be rebuilt due to lack of funding after the war but why couldn't they have knocked them down if not in use?

willybite Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thank you,anyway for the information i have been given so far.i am still hoping to find out if i imagined the building still being there in 1972/3? in all my years that i lived in the area i never knew a pub by that name, as i wrote on another thread when after the war we would play on what we called the bombed buildings when in fact a lot of these were derelict sites that were vacated before the war, one i remember was the fitzwilliam hotel the corner of broomhall and fitzwilliam streets. the only others were i recall,the raven,the washington,the peacock.

lazarus Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Do you mean the Peacock that was open in the 1960s, it was on the left hand side of Fitzwilliam St, it was roughly where Stokes Tiles old showroom is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too remember the bombed out buildings, my brother and other friends also played there, they were later rebuilt where Atkinsons now stands. I lived in that area all my younger years and have never heard of a pub by that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in that area all my younger years and have never heard of a pub by that name. I remember a stone staircase still standing in the ruins of one of the buildings. As a six year old I longed to join in with the kids that were always playing there but my mother would never let me. She always gripped my hand tighter as we passed on our way up the Moor.
