Terry Steeples was a true character one of the best landlords ever in Sheffield City Centre, does anyone remeber Mick Nolan the last landlord of the old Mulberry? it closed in about 1975 and was redeveopled the new pub being opened by Mick Lee in late 1976. I worked for all three of these guys and it was a privelidge.

The town center pubs of the 60,s are sadly now history but what great memories and the characters that used them.Pubs that I used were the Elephant in fitzalan square,The Bell Fitzalan Square,The Bell up the entry on High St,Red Lion West St was it the Wharncliffe opposite also The Foresters,The Abert,The Saddle,What was the name of the pub halfway down the Moor that sold Newcastle Brown Ale?.What great nights in summer touring round all these and many more town pubs drinking halves of best bitter.
would that pub be the angel on the right hand side going down the moor or the travellers on the left ?

I remember Tery Steeples chucking a bloke out of the Penny Black one dinner time. The place had just had a brand new carpet down in the it was a thick pile axminster and these two blokes walked in who had just been to the tackle shop in the wicker Cacotts ???? anyway one of them decided to check on the maggots he`d just bought and was struggling with the lid. You can guess the rest maggots everywhere nestling down in the 2 inch thick pile He went crackers, can`t say I blame him either

The Mucky Duck, back in the late 60s, must have sold the vilest pint of bitter in Sheffield. You could see the barmaids catch all the slops and top your pint up with them :gag:

 

It was very popular because it had all the top acts on but the beer was disgusting - not even fit to put on your chips.

I worked partime in the evenings in the 60's there and we didn't use slops. And for your information the cleaning regime after closing was very strict. Terry and his wife were strict but good to work for if did the job properly
