JACKS TEMPERANCE BAR LOCATION 358 Langsett Road - Sheffield 6 INFORMATION Owner - Jack A Lee (would always push his false teeth out and back in again) These bars were 'Temperance' bars set up by the Temperance Society to try and compete with pubs Jack's Temperance/Sasperella bar was popular with the Sheffield Wednesday players of the 60's who could be found in there most afternoons. There was also a pinball machine in there. Jacks may be memorable to people as it had a large neon durex sign in the window As you entered the door there was a partition on the right, behind which was the "temperance bar" where young bloods would prop up the bar with a pint of sarsparilla, or play the pin table. If you just wanted some aspirins, Rizla papers, cough medicine, razor blades, Elastoplast or condoms you just went to the counter at the left side of the partition. Jack would also sell cigarettes in units of two at a time !! You could buy Sarsparella, Vimto, Oxo or Cocoa Jack also sold his "special" which was sarsparilla with a shot of "blood tonic" added (what was in it?) Jack's closed in the late 1980s when Jack Lee retired PICTURES
