MUFC_OK Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Saw a repeat of 'Britains Toughest Pubs' a few weeks ago, which had the 'Parkway Tavern' on Park Hill as one of the pubs. Looked like there were a few characters in there! Anyway, it got me thinking, were there other pubs on Hyde Park/Parkhill/Kelvin or is the Parkway Tavern just a one off? Strange thread I know, but I'm quite curious and people on here will deffo have the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox20thc Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The Crows Nest on the Hyde Park, (my mum worked in there for a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 There was one at the end of Hyde Park Walk, just behind Hyde Park Terrace. It had a beer garden (albeit entirely composed of concrete) that was very popular in the summer. Can't remember what it was called though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox20thc Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Was it the Target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The Link on Park Hill had some colourfull characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Was it the Target? That name's not ringing any bells. I think it might have been something to do with a queen. Could be mistaken. Better go and have a Google... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayne67 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think the target was on the tall block, (on the greyhound stadium side), and there was a Plimsoll pub on the small block. What was the pub called on the Pavement (Park Hill)? Jayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any reference to it using my - admittedly rubbish - Googling skills. 'The Scottish Queen' springs to mind, though that could be another Hyde Park/Park Hill pub.

depoix Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 on kelvin we had the gatefield and the halfpenny,decent enough pubs in their time,just because it was kelvin flats people from outside the area thought the pubs were full of trouble but they were wrong,you could get to them in the winter or rain without getting wet,on a summer night you could have a walk round the gatefield,george the forth,over to the halfpenny,accross to the upperthorpe hotel,then the scarbro'arms,turn left and call in the office or the club,and all within ten minutes of home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
