stuartw Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Who remembers the commercial pub top of weedon street at junction with sheffield road tinsley? We used it for many years when working at firth-vickers staybrite works, mid sixties, espeicially on friday-payday, when alot of the office staff would go in have a good pint of wards bitter and play the latest discs on the jukbox. I take it that the place is no longer there, proberbly replaced by some meaningless structure which is deemed in the interest of progress!!! Ah' halcyon days.

stpetre Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I recall one on Coleridge Road? that used to be called the 'Top Common'. Was there a pub actually ON Coleridge Road? I only knew the Salutation that was on the Attercliffe Common corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marx Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It was across Broughton Lane and up a bit from the Railway (Noose & Gibbet) on Tinsley Park Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) It was across Broughton Lane and up a bit from the Railway (Noose & Gibbet) on Tinsley Park Road. The pubs on Tinsley Park Road were the 'Friendship' and the Fisherman's' but that's OFF Coleridge Road and the fore-mentioned 'Commerical' was a Ward's pub at the corner of Weedon Street. Where that pub was is now a horticultured advertising site, but the old tram sheds are still surviving next door.

Ah the memories. I was a regular patron of the Commercial from 1965 until its demise in the 80's. I also worked at Edgar Allens, who is Bodie?

Brill Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It was across Broughton Lane and up a bit from the Railway (Noose & Gibbet) on Tinsley Park Road. Railway on Tinsley Park Rd!! I don't think so that was on Broughton Lane. The pubs on Tinsley Park were The Friendship and The Fishermans Rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Marx meant was that Tinsley Park Road and the pubs in question (Fisherman's and Friendship) were ACROSS Broughton Lane from the old Railway, not on it. ---------- Post added 12-07-2015 at 20:38 ---------- Railway on Tinsley Park Rd!!

I think what Marx meant was that Tinsley Park Road and the two pubs on it-Friendship Inn and Fisherman's Rest- were ACROSS from Broughton Lane and the old Railway pub, not on it. (The correct direction is up the hill and first right over the bridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
