Guest Lakin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Someone i know bought a plot of land with buildings on it that were old & falling down. Its on wortley road but the road as been called rotherham road & chapeltown road in the past. On is deeds it states on the land that there was a Pub called The Sportsman Inn. I have looked at maps dating back to 1855 were i think it says (The Old Bar) But this is lower down the road from is plot. Map Below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Edward Ellam was granted a wine & spirits licence for the Sportsman Inn in November 1869. It was stated to be a "well conducted" house. Edwin (sic) Ellam applied again in August 1870. By April 1871 it was advertised as being up for sale "with Out-door Retail and Dealers Licences".
