davemotts Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 RETEP is quite right the pub you mention was indeed The Royal Oak. Its main part was a beer off shop. if you wanted to drink on the premises you sat in the lounge at the back and they served you from the beer pumps in the shop! the brewery was IND COUP i think. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie1957 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It was apparently at the bottom of Freedom Road, Walkley opposite the Freedom View pub, just on the corner so I'm told. Would really like to know if anyone can remember it's name. I've been told it was really small inside, like a little dram shop. Thanks Anyone know if the Blake is still open?

Madgeca Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 the pub you mean is the Florist, I lived next door but one to it until we were rehoused in 1966. It was not unusual to have milk stolen from window ledge and find empty beer bottles in its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Uppers Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Cheers everyone, it was definitely The Royal Oak - long gone now I'm afraid. The Florist is still standing and still in full swing but I think it's Walkley Lane thats on & not Walkley Street. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
