Edmund Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Here's a link to an "Archaeological Building Appraisal" commissioned by Marston's brewery in 2010. It's very detailed and shows that the Howard is made up of a number of separate buildings (part of it being a Brush Works in 1889): http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/arch-424-1/dissemination/pdf/archaeol5-90945_1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always suspected there were a few other ex business's in there from the past and this tells it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Now that's strange, in the 1970's Sheffield telephone numbers beginning with 2 were 5 digits long, the front page of this item clearly states 216061. a misprint I think, so what was the correct number for the time, should not be to hard to find.

Great memories or growing from boy to man here staff were excellent like family to us but I think we were seen as the slave maser sometime best wishes to all who worked, drank and stayed with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bildeborg Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 When we moved from Sheffield to Foolow (Peak District) my father who was a journalist at The Star always stayed at the Howard Hotel when heavy snow made the journey home impossible. He spoke highly of the place but my memories from the mid 80's are not so good, it was pretty run down by then. Regards, Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
