From what I can work out, it was near the corner of Headford Street.

1903

Here is an approximate location .. Flash Earth

Edit: Taking another look, it could have been next door on the corner of Headford Street.

I would be obliged to know the name of your great grand father if possible, I only have Edward Taylor (1871) and I see Ukelele Lady has added John Sanderson in 1859, so a 1891 would be a great addition.

Thanks in advance.

1881 Issac T Simpson - nothing to do with anything - just because.

I remember putting a Henry Guest on a pub other than the Butcher's but which

pub now I don't recall. If I come across it again I will post it on, It might be your

great grandfather who knows?

You could have taken a look on the 1952 OS map available on here ..

the layout of the corner of Headford Street varies when compared with the earlier maps above.

According to a marriage certificate of my great grandmother, her father listed this pub as his business and residence in 1888. I'm keen to know more about this pub but it appears the entire road has today been destroyed. Anyone help?

Some bits of unconnected information, the Butcher's Arms through the ages:

1862 Mr P Carr offering a prize for running race at Hyde Park:

Philip Carr is there in 1854, I think you had to be there to understand his complaints...

1868 - not sure if James Ward was the licensee or just a passing mangold wurzel vendor:

1891 William Guest, Iron Founder's Labourer and Public House Keeper:

1901 Isaac Thomas Simpson, Beerhouse keeper:

1911 Frank Wright Turtle, Beer House Keeper:

Given your map and the following from SheffieldRecordsOnline there is a possibility that the Butchers and the Dog & Gun on Headford Street are one and the same place ...

Frank Turtle, Beerhouse, 61 Bath Street (1911, as per the Census image)

Frank Turtle, victualler Dog & Gun, 18 Headford Street (1919)

From what I can work out, it was near the corner of Headford Street.

The Dog & Gun and the Butchers Arms were definitely two separate establishments, with Frank Turtle moving from the Butchers to the Dog & Gun sometime between 1911 and 1916.

Maps to show the locations - Dog & Gun in 1890 and 61 Bath Street in the 1950s:

At the 1911 census, Frank Turtle was at 61 Bath street ( Beerhouse, no name on the census form) whilst Robert Johnson was at 18 Headford Street (wire drawer on census form, no mention of public house):

But the enumerator in 1911 was a good lad, who completed his summary sheet including the names of the pubs, where the occupants didn't think them worthy of inclusion:

As conclusive and well proven as possible. Many Thanks.

Butchers Arms updated, thank you Edmund.

We did have Richard Johnson at the Dog & Gun Headford Street on the A to Z from 1910 to 1913.

We also had Frank Turtle 1919 to 1924.

It looks like Frank must have died and his widow Kate took over up until at least 1929.

In 1931 to 1933 we have a Mrs Kate Cotterill , did she remarry ?

Frank W Turtle died Jul/Aug/Sep 1922 aged 44, his widow Kate was then remarried to William A Cotterill in Apr/May/Jun 1930.

Frank Turtle was still down in the directories up until 1924, I wonder if it could have been his son?

There was a Frank Edmund Turtle in Sheffield, but I can't find any relationship to Frank at the Butchers / Dog & Gun. Frank was an ex Fish Frier by the way, but his family seem to have come from Ollerton via Wakefield. With a name like Turtle, they were probably related in the not too distant past.

More likely Kate left the licence in Frank's name for a couple of years after his death? Not sure what sort of checking up the magistrates would have done.
