Bulls head Dunn st

[Timeh]

Can anyone help with finding out some history on the place? Ive been asked by a reli but my health is crap right now so cant commit to the time it will probably take.

Id be very grateful for some help and i could pay a bit you or do some sort of favour exchange where as id return the favour as and when you need.

Thanks

The Bulls Head was once one of three pubs on Dun Street , in its day was reported to be quite rough. No idea when it closed but I think its a printing works now but retains the original windows and a sign on the side wall. If you want to know who was living their in the past census returns or trade books might tell you. The problem with pubs they can be their for hundreds of years but leave little behind record wise.

There's a "desk based assessment" available on the Archaeology Data Service website at the University of York.

It gives a lot of information.

I've looked in the A-Z listing of Sheffield Pubs, there's not much info that Crookedspire hasn't written.

 

This is the entry:

Bulls Head Hotel 18 Dun Street

 

This hotel, as history will have it, was one of, if not, the roughest place in the Sheffield township, and was nicknamed the Devil's Kitchen. Dun Street which runs between Shalesmoor and Green Lane is no longer than 100 yards and at one time had no dwellings' only three public houses: the Bulls Head, the Queens and the Gardeners Rest.

i can tell you that the bulls head was one of the pubs at the centre of sheffield's gang wars.

Been awhile since this thread was active,  but the first landlady Elizabeth Maskrey I believe is an ancestor.  Is there any information on her anywhere?

Elizabeth Maskrey was my GGG Grandmother

There's a mention of her in relation to some dodgy insurance claims after the flood in 1846; drop me a note and I'll send you a jpg
