tuthill Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Can anybody recall a pub, apparently on Cemetery road Sheffield Called the " The Glass Slipper" This wasn't the actual name of the public house but what everyone called it I'm told it had a female landlord + reputation for serving "after hours" + was popular with "the boys in blue" for a pint after their late shift ended (allegedly)! If so what was the pubs proper name + whereabouts on Cemetery Rd was it ? Thanks! (on behalf of 2 elderly gentlemen "going mad" trying to remember it !)

tuthill Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hello..Thanks for that....I take it the silver slipper was just what the locals called it as I can't find it listed on the Sheffield history pub name pages.Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The Sunderland Social Club ' was on the corner of Cemetery Road and Sunderland Street [ about halfway up Cemetery Road ]. The Vine was very near to it on another corner. The S.S. was jokingly called the ' Silver Slipper ' by its varied clientele.

nikki-red Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 No idea, unless its just the initials (SS) or some sort of reference to the Famous casino that used to be in Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
