Sheffield History Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Fairfield Inn, Neepsend Lane, Sheffield Was this also known as "The Owl' at one point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 According to our Pubs A-Z listings, yes it was known as The Owl for a time, It is The Farfield Inn, not Fairfield (image taken from Google Streetview) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It was apparently known as The Owl when it was listed by English Heritage in 1995. A very brief history and description can be seen on the Historic England website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex pat Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Memory plays tricks sometimes but I am sure this pub was called The Monkey by the workers at Andrews Toledo across the road. I think I am right in saying that a local "bookmaker" sat inside the door where he could leg it quick if the law came calling. Anyone else remember that ?

ex pat Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks Neddy. The bookmaker was usually sitting in the Farfield though 'cos I was sent over to him a couple of times by the boss. My one and only win 33 to 1 with a six pence bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now La Plata Monkey works.. I am assisting solicitors to investigate how a gentleman diagnosed with an asbestos disease was exposed to asbestos during his working life. He worked at Sheffield Rolling Mills Ltd 1969/70 to 1972/73 and Andrews Toledo Ltd.1966/67 and 1968/69 Can anybody assist with any information please as to asbestos in these workplaces.
