Ontarian1981 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You only have to follow google street view around Sheffield and you will see how many pubs have disappeared in the last 35 years alone. It is hard to find any of the pubs I used to frequent in my younger days in the city centre alone, god knows how many have gone in the 'burbs.

The pub on Brightside Lane was the Wellington but the junction was Hawke Street, sorry for being pedantic. However, at the top of Janson Street was the Lampool. Whoops , sorry about that, I should have known , I worked in the Hawke St planer shop, E S C. Blame it on being in Canada since "81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I bought a book written by a lady who was the wife of a licensee, between them running several pubs in the Sheffield area over the years. They ran, amongst others, the Wellington (Brightside Lane), the Wellington (Main Road, Darnall), the Dog and Partridge (Attercliffe Road) and from one extreme to the other a pub in Holmsfield (or that area). A good book but of course I cannot remember the name of it now. Also, didn't know that the Darnall pub was no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to work out in my head how may pubs were in the immediate Grimesthorpe area 1960's, (Brightside and Page Hall dunt count): Carlisle Street East (1), Botham Street (1), Adsetts Street (1). Upwell Street (2), Upwell Lane (2), Carlisle Road (4) and Grimesthorpe Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm right, one the western boundaries of Grimesthorpe is Carwood road and the westside is in Pitsmoor and the east side is in Grimesthorpe which would then qualify the Hallcar Tavern, but as my wife will tell you I've been wrong before. As an after thought this might take out the Corner Pin Edited January 8, 2019 by beezerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an after thought this might take out the Corner Pin The demarcation boundary line between Pitsmoor and Grimesthorpe is Garter Street, which runs between Carlisle Street East and Petre Street and then the line continues up Smith's field to Grimesthorpe Road which up till the 1920's so did Garter Street. That keeps the Carwood's (Lane ,Terrace etc) in Pitsmoor. Thus the Hallcar Tavern, Carwood Hotel and the Corner Pin were in Pitsmoor and coming away from city centre the Alexandra (Carlisle Street East) would have been the first Grimesthorpe pub with the Crown (Carlisle Road) the second, if you follow me.

The Corner Pin (Tetley's) was on the corner of Lyons Street and Carlisle Street East, building is still there but not a pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
