The address was Granville Street and Norfolk Street? That should be 'Norwich Street' in the Park area, which was all demolished to make way for the 'Park Hill Flats'.

hillsbro Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Here is a link to a picturesheffield.com photo. The information on the back of the photo reads "Granville Inn - Tenanted house ... Very old fashioned front facing railway ... Tiled (?) bar - old fashioned. One old smoke room and another smoke room at front. 5 pumps. Concert room only for weddings and receptions. Club room, 1st floor..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the present-day brewery is the same firm - the 1912 Chesterfield directory shows it on Chatsworth Road like the modern Brampton Brewery.
