Tea total pub crawl town centre Sheffield tour past and present Part 1 Updated

"Had to edit the bit out of my previous video where I filmed the pavement by mistake." So many of the nights spots I remember from the 1980s have gone. 100's if not thousands of Sheffield public houses have disappeared from the 1950s. I have only caught a glimpse of them.
Here is the evidence about the Three Tuns. www.thestar.co.uk/business/th...

Happy Memories from the 80s especially Harvey's and the Roxy. Hitman and Her a few times. So sad to see all the towns I used to visit in a similar state

[@markstacey5867]

The Wapentake was probably my favourite bar. think it changed its name to the Casbah later. The Sportsman was a cracking pub too, think that was on Cambridge street too, we used to pop in there before an after watching a band at the City Hall

21 minutes in where you mentioned code- back in my day that was the legendary Bier Keller

I did go in it, but forgot where it was, even though Berlins was one of my favourite places.

A pub/club that stood for years in my town(Craigneuk club) is now an Islamic education centre, NOT what we needed.

@JackBlack-gh5yf 4 hours ago I used to go in the Alex in the late 80's nice pub. I drank down The Wicker a lot in the 70's and 80's, and did the Wicker pub crawl a lot too! :D Some relatives of mine had The Station at one time, but I mostly drank in the Brown Cow, when Trevor and Phyllis had it. The pub next to The Station was The Viaduct Tim. Either side of The Big Gun was The New White Lion (later part of Bennett's fishing tackle), and The Lion, on the corner of Nursery St, they both had the same Tetley's pub sign. Then opposite The Lion, across Nursery Street was The Hare & Hounds. When I worked at Whitbread's Brewery, we used to sometimes drink in the Lady's Bridge (The Brewer on The Bridge at one time), where we got a subsidy, but mainly we drank in The Vaults, underneath the brewery, where the beer was free! The brewery was Exchange Brewery (Whitbreads, and before that Tenant's), Ward's was on Ecclesall Road. Loads of great pubs on The Wicker at one time, and some great independent businesses. It's sad to see it now. The Tap & Spile was most famously called The Bull & Mouth, a notoriously rough pub. In the late 80's, Tetley's replaced the pub sign with one showing a bull wearing a set of false teeth, and a friend of mine had to write to them, and remind them that the name actually came from 'The Boulogne Mouth' (after the Battle of Boulogne Mouth). The pub name was later changed to The Boulogne, then back to The Bull & Mouth I think, before becoming The Tape & Spile. The Cannon had a bar upstairs, and one downstairs. I used to love the smell of the hops round there Tim! 😁 It came from the Exchange Brewery, where there were several brews a day, and as many at nights. I never stopped liking the smell, even after working there! Opposite The Cannon, down the side of the old Town Hall was The Hen & Chickens, where prisoners families could still buy them a lunchtime meal until the practice was stopped early in 1995. After The Barrow Boys closed, the entrance remained in use as a way of entering the nightclub upstairs in the old Gas showrooms. There's lots of space in there. I remember The Classic cinema, but not the pub there. The Marples was another pub with 2 bars, upstairs and downstairs. My grandma was a cleaner at The Fiesta for years. Funny to see that The Penny Black has survived! Absolutely disgraceful what they have done to The Old Queen's Head over the years, smashing out the historic interior, and at least one of the external walls. There aren't many cities where they'd get away with that. When I was a teenager, we used to drink in there, before getting the night-bus to London :) (What's going on Tim?! I thought you'd been mugged when I saw all those paving slabs in Castle Square! ) Shame about The Three Cranes. The pub at West Bar was The Mason's Arms, but I was told there were once 4 pubs around that junction at the end of the 19th century. If you look at the side of The Crow, you might still be able to see the old sign for The Old Crown, which is what this historic pub was originally called. Down the side ran an alleyway, linking Scotland Street to Solly Street (then Pea Croft), and from there, in the mid 19th century, Sam Crookes, and his worthless accomplice Jem Hallam, both hit-men for the Saw-Grinder's Union, shot blackleg James Linley, who was drinking inside the pub. The Queen's Hotel was over the brow of the hill. The Three Tuns was usually known as 'The little Three Tuns' to avoid confusion with the busier pub on Leopold Street. I first went in Fagan's when it was The Barrel, one of Sheffield's great pubs. Trippet's only opened in the late 80's (not surprised you're lost Tim, I'd be in tears mate). The Grapes is still a good pub, but the Dog & Partridge is not the pub it was sadly (my dad had his 21st birthday there). The Wig & Pen doesn't look as posh as it once was, always quite nice in there though. The Golden Ball was on the opposite side of the road, a bit further up. They've made a bit of a mess of the front of The Stone House, it had a 'Coffee House' sign up when I was a kid. I didn't think you'd be old enough to remember The Crazy Daisy Tim! 😁I think it ended up being called 'Legends', or Leg-ends as we used to call it! The Head of Steam was a bank, had various incarnations since the early 90's. The Graduate was first licensed as The Surrey (with The Fringe on top - like the song) in the early 1980's. The license application was by Mansfield Brewery, and The Fringe was originally a gym. The building had previously been a Masonic Hall, Sheffield Registry Office, a computer centre, and a squatted Peace Centre. Mansfield bought it from Sheffield City Council. The Globe had pin-ball tables in the front room, and an incontinent cat in the back room! The best known pub on the street, however, was undoubtedly The Cossack. Opposite The Roebuck was The Minerva. There was also The Phoenix, and Wright's cutlery works was originally a pub. There will have been scores more of course! Berlins?! You mean the Bier Kelllar Tim! ;) I think that was the first licensed premises there (there was the nightclub nearby too), in the early 70's! 😁Oh, you do remember! :) The Moor changed a lot after being bombed in the war, and the pubs were OFF The Moor, rather than on it (you've gone past The Nelson though), such as The Pump Tavern and Moorfoot Tavern. I think the nightclub was first called The Genevieve. Henry's wasn't originally a pub, it was a shop, next to The Barleycorn. You've got a good memory of getting to Josephine's mate (though you've passed The Sportsman and The Albert, or The Yorkshireman, if you went that way. And there was The Wapentake of course!) 🙂 All Bar One was the Abbey National building society, and the other pub you're thinking of was The Three Tuns, with the Pig & Whistle/Buccaneer opposite. Well done Tim, that was quite a tramp, I'm worn out! :D I'm proud to have drunk in all those pubs at one time or another though 👍

Part 2 next weekend Jack. Thanks for all your great info. Slightly updated video without me being mugged.
