Now flats unfortunately. That's the fella, Dave. The Crown. How sad but suppose it's the way of the world these days.

Jack Grey Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It's made the national new.... When the first pints were poured in the Sheffield boozer known today as the Big Gun, George III was on the throne and France was at war with Britain. The pub counted a cattle and swine market among its neighbours when it opened in 1796 on the Wicker, a street which back then was illuminated each night by oil-burning lamps. By the 20th Century, the road leading to the city centre had become a bustling thoroughfare where drinkers could choose from about a dozen watering holes. Today, however, the Big Gun is the last one standing - and it too is now shutting down foro good. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-66744432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
