Barman Glen Small must be suffering from double vision when he says there were twelve pubs on the Wicker in the 1980s.

It depends on if you just count the Wicker itself, or the continuations of the Wicker route and its offshoots.

On the Wicker itself there would have been 7 -:

The Station
The Viaduct
The Bull & Oak

The Brown Cow

The New White Lion

The Big Gun

The Lion

 

But then on Savile Street just after the arches there was the Hole in the Wall.
 

On Nursery Street just just round the corner there was the Hare and Hounds.

 

Then on Waingate just after the bridge there was the Lady's bridge and Bull and Mouth.

 

Just on the side streets was the Harlequin (old) and then the Manchester Hotel (present day Harlequin).

 

Then Harlequin now is the only pub I'd consider within the Wicker "area" - i.e. anything between the River Don and the railway arches, though most today would see it as the very far end stretches of Neepsend and Kelham.

The Lion was closed long before the 1980s.

This photo from 1984 shows it still open as a pub. Later became the Riverside Court Hotel and is now a series of apartments upstairs and small businesses downstairs

Some good old boozers mentioned there   In the late 60s and early 70s  Sheffield had some of the best pub crawls in this Country,  we used the ones mentioned above on a friday night followed by a spoilt for choice great night club, and London road on Saturday night then pile into Tiffanys.  The Town centre took some beating aswell.  What the flip has happened, Sheffield IMO is garbage now, too exspensive, too many fake nondescript beggers and Stabbers knockin about.  Coppers really need get a Grip and bang these Tossers up, they are ruining a Great City.

Cuttsie the type of bloke who goes abroad and eats egg and chips, then.

Cuttsie is a man's man unlike some,  and I often choose egg and chips at lunchtimes.

I suppose he has never posted on here that victims of infant murder are getting rich off the back of their dead babies, so he has that going for him at least.

Thankfully it was deleted after I reported it as it was an absolutely disgusting thing to say.   I am sure you will agree?

I think you've misinterpreted it, did you quote it in your response?

Absolutely not, it was said for shock effect. You are only defending it as you know full well who said it.
