Siddle Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Any information please about the grouse and trout pub at redmires where exactly was it and anything else I know it was demolished in 1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If you drive up to the top dam you'll see on your left, about 30 yards prior to the bridge a big stone which carries the inscription Grouse & Trout. It forms part of the wall. To the best of my knowledge, the building used to be in the copse that lies behind this wall. I would imagine the foundations are still there but the land is private property so I wouldn't know. There are pictures of the Grouse and Trout on the wall in The Sportsman pub back along Redmires Road towards Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidofhonour Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi there Can anyone remember a pub called the George Hotel on Brightside Lane? I know it was there in 1929 as a relative of mine is listed as living there in a Sheffield Trade Directory. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grouse and Trout was a "Boom" pub during the construction of the dam, catering for the thirsts of the Irish Labourers who were drafted in to provide the work force. After the construction was complete and the workforce left the pub dwindled into obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
