only_me Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Whats happened to the royal ???? this was a great pub especially in the 70s and 80s. Has it closed its doors for good?, does anyone have memories of this pub that even had a stage at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jossman Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 My uncle David and aunty Mona were the landlord/lady in the late 60's. They moved there from the Midland Hotel on Spital Hill, next to the East House. The Royal was a good pub and well frequented. I spent many hours in there on leave from the Navy. During their tenancy they were robbed of the takings. The safe was next to my uncles head at the side of the bed. He was lucky to survive, he slept through the whole incident.

Gordonb Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If I remember right there was a milepost outside The Royal which said Sheffield 1 mile, so I always believed that it was 1 mile to the town hall. Don't know how many pubs there were between The Royal and The Town Hall back in the late sixties but there must be someone out there that can name them all.

Floridablade Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Two of my school mates used to play there,it was a trio but I didn't know the third player on Base,that would be in the late 40 early 50s. The family had my mothers birthday party there in the early 70s,hired the room upstairs. Good pub.always packed on a saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
