MJ01 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 That's neoliberalism and globalisation for you - typical Crosspool, they don't want your money if you're not one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearysmith Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) As an ex-Crosspooler I can recall some glorious nights pub-crawling there in the 70s. The King's Head, The Plough, the Bell Hagg... marvellous places. Crosspool Tavern was still a tad on the snooty side then. People 'dressed up' to eat there. A lot of retired colonel types, bankers etc frequented it. Not really the kind of people that would discussed United's current fortunes or the latest T.Rex album. Wasn't really us. Never get to 'Pool any more. My folks have passed and friends have all moved on. No reason to go. I think the old Wednesday player Johnny Fantham had a hardware(?) shop up there when I was a kid.

Bilge Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not a great pub crawl these days is it? It hasn't been for many a year. Tavern - poor but at least it has the football on TV if you're desperate Sportsman - average 'family pub' but the beer is OK Indian Restaurant bar - hmmm, good luck to them but I can't see that succeeding Plough - soon to be demolished An Itchy Pig/Ale Club or similar micropub would inject some life and would do well but would never be allowed.

crookesey Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Three pubs lost on the Holmesfield Main Road run plus another three in Dronfield Woodhouse, only one in Totley and none in Dore. This tells me that the drive from pub to pub is a thing of the past and that local support is the order of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like it if a load of people from other areas came and filled your local pubs? People from all over Sheffield and indeed the UK frequent the pubs where I live. I quite like the mix and vibrancy it brings, as well as helping to financially sustain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
