Jabberwocky Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I to thought the station was a great pub especially lively on disco nights. I seem to remember a black fella called Joker. Yeah thats him. He was a big bugger. Last time I saw him was in the Station in the late 90s, he snatched the watch off a blokes wrist and legged it out of the door.

lazyherbert Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yes, on the corner of Stanley Street, just up from the Manchester. It had a little pot bellied stove in one room (there were three), and a mural painted on the way out to the outside bogs. Best pint of Wards in Sheffield. It was the worst pint of Wards in Sheffield when Joe Worley had it in the 50s because we lived next door but one to it on Johnson St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyherbert Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The thread starter list of pubs brings back memories, some great old establishments there. The Big Gun was one of the most unspoilt Victorian pubs in Sheffield I've ever been in. That and the Blue Boar on West Bar. I'm still having trouble placing the Harlequin though, I swear I've been in there, but I must've been canned. Was it on one of those lanes back of the Holy Trinity Church? Somebody got it placed around the corner from the Manchester on Nursery Street, but I cant vizualise it somehow. The Harlequin was on the corner of Johnson St. & Stanley St. on the opposite corner to the Lodestar Works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Joker is still around, he used to go into the market tavern until it was shut down. Still see him round town every few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebs Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 hi, I would just like to say that my mother-in-law is the landlady of the big gun. and it is the best pint in town, not just saying that but it really is, and i love it cos it is full of characters,my sister-in-law (andrea) is the bar maid. And i can honestly say its the best pint cos i know my father-in-law cleans his lines every week religiously. I think it will be a shame when these types of pubs will no longer exist. See you in there some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
