Its not very often they just pull a pub down like that. I heard it was a drugs place, is that true.? Is the old Southey Green Working Mens club still across the road.? Maybe someone from Southey will know.

 

I left Sheffield in 1968 even i know southey w m c is still up & running cheers

I left Sheffield in 1968, but when I was younger eg 8 ish, my sister and I used to go to the off license with 2 Tizer bottles for 2 pints of mild for my grandad. Use to be poured througha brass funnell. I never saw the Tossing Ring but think the same grandad used to be part of it at some time in his past.

I always wanted to sit outside with my friend with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps, but neither dad nor mum went in the Magnet.

Hi okismoki, Not sure if you know your whereabouts around southly hill

right near the church, i'am trying to know what was the home called as

my sister had one off her children put into care there.

I remember it was up from the magnet pub on right.:help:

Apparantly one night a gang walked in there and wheeled away the bandit in front of everyone and no one said or did nuffin......enuff said

 

My hubby was a wrought iron man and got the job there to manaufacture a

device to stand the bandit on so it could be wheeled away at night to be locked up!
