Jax1 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hello. Can anyone tell me when the pub licensing hours were extended from 10:00pm closing to 10:30pm in Sheffield, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Before November 1960. That's when I started frequenting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatrajah Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think it was between October 1959 & the date given in the previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax1 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thought it was around 1963/4. I lived on the north side and can remember us leaving the pubs at about quarter to ten and dashing over to Ecclesfield or Thurgoland for the last half hour.

USUK Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It was 10:30 in '62 for sure ---------- Post added 17-12-2014 at 09:34 ---------- And 11:00 in Derbyshire. Opening time in Sheff. was 5:30 but 6:00 in Derbyshire so they both had the same "open" hours. (unless you were a regular :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 In the Old Blue Bell that used to be on High St. below the Telegraph building they used to have a framed copy of a document pertaining to the act and the pub. That was in the 80's and it was dated February 1961. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victormh Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I lived at Swallownest, and we used to go to the Loyal Trooper at Anston, then about 10 mins before closing we dashed towards Worksop, went over the golf course into Lindrick Village for the later opening. But often very late opening if the village bobby was in there with us. Loyal Trooper was then a spirits house, sso for the same money the sprits measures were larger. When I moved to Driffield in East Yorkshire in 1967 things were very much different. All the surrounding towns had market day (livestock market day) on a different day of the week - Monday to Saturday. On market day the pubs opened at breakfast time and shut about 11-00pm - open all day. So going into Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley, Malton, Hull, outskirts of York it was possible to benefit from all day opening - which still continues. Usually a lot of farmers in there trying to do deals over livestock before the start of the auctions I remember a similar thing on market day at Wirksworth near Matlock around 1963/4 and also Worksop around the same time. No doubt there were many others where this occurred. Victor - Subang Jaya, Selangor State - Malaysia (It Aint 'Alf 'Ot Mum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
