retep Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Think I only ever went in once, but my old man used to use it many moons ago and he liked it and he wesn't one for mixing with the dregs. He worked for 40 odd years at The Hallamshire Steel and File Company on Neepsend Lane opposite the Gardners Rest, anyone remember this company, Hillsbro? Cuttsie? Remember the Hallamshire pretty well, and Stooenses was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The Cannon closed on the 1st March, 2007. The Market Tavern closed in Jan 2006. In that area only leaving Hen and Chickens open not sure if the Three Cranes is still open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TORONTONY Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Did you sup lemonade in the Brunswick then cuttsie? Probably black and tans or barley wines...lol. Only saying, because that's what I supped if I liked the pub but not the ale' ---------- Post added 22-03-2015 at 13:44 ---------- It was general knowledge, that if you wanted to pay less than market prices for anything locally, such as meat etc. just ask in the Cannon, and within the time of supping a pint, your order was fulfilled. Never tried it myself by the way! I am pleased that it was shut down. Den of iniquity! A lot of pubs in that area were places you get knocked off stuff or stuff the market traders couldn't sell at their stalls. I have been offered "bargains" at the Brunswick, Bull and Mouth, Kings Arms, Cannon and a few others, not really fair to single out the Cannon. It was not one of my favourite pub ,but I never was worried about dropping in for a couple as a cuple of lads I worked with were regulars there. ---------- Post added 22-03-2015 at 13:48 ---------- ---------- Post added 22-03-2015 at 14:04 ---------- Probably black and tans or barley wines...lol.

Why have the Town Planners allowed such an iconic Sheffield building to be cladded in Yellow M.D.F board, it is as though they do not care about the Market area at all.
