This place was a leading Sheffield Inn, from 1728-1762 a theatre flourished in the inn yard, the first stage coach to London left from here in 1760 (see link below).

The Inn was rebuilt in 1816 (on the original site), the most striking feature was the Terracotta Angel (for those who like "the chase" who made the Angel ?????). Angel Inn destroyed in the Blitz.

The terracotta Angel was made by the sculptor Rossi who was lodging across the road.

July 16 1793.

Mr. Peech, of the Angel, having been very successful

in getting in his harvest, treated his mowers,

etc. with a plentiful dinner, at his farm at Carbrook,

and brought them to his house in coaches

drawn by four horses each, with bands of music.—

The cavalcade proceeded to the Angel, where a

cold collation was served to the company, and Mrs.

Peech gave half a dozen very large bowls of cold posset.
