ukelele lady Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Have you looked on our A to Z of pubs, you will find it there under N to S page 2. 378 Brightside Lane opened in 1858 and closed in 1937 also naming landlords. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makapaka Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It’s still there converted to offices. The frontage still has the carved “new inn” signage in the stonework. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has me a bit baffled, makapaka , in the years after the war before re-development I think there was only a derelict yard or something like that on the outward corner of Fell Street and I thought there were just houses on the other. So can you tell me is it on the corner of that street or further along Brightside lane. Any chance of a google view or something like that please ? EDIT - I have just looked on a list of Thomas Berry pubs and see it is listed as being on the corner of Fell Street so the question now is which corner?

ukelele lady Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have looked on Google Street View at Fell Street but it now seems to be all new buildings and new roads there doesn't seem to be any old buildings left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same and also couldn't find any old buildings, I would not have known it was Fell Street if I had not come from the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Picture here from Picture Sheffield of the outward corner of Fell Street in 1966, showing what I thought was a yard, but looking at this it may well have been a demolished or bombed building. I have not been able to find a picture of the other corner so far. ----------------- http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s15777&pos=3&action=zoom&id=18528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Here's a photo taken in 1949 - the New Inn appears to be demolished (from Britain from Above photo ref EAW026021) The OS map revised in 1937 shows the New Inn still standing: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Here's an extract from the Bombs map - there would not have been much in the way of protection for the pub from the bomb that fell on the railway lines. Possibly it stood derelict until it was demolished by 1948/9? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly it stood derelict until it was demolished in 1948/9? That sounds like a good possibility, on the 54 map it's just shown as ruin. EDITED to avoid duplication, I have changed the map to the 1954 one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However trhe 1939 census shows the property as no longer a shop, and occupied by the Wills family (Slinger - Armaments, Filemaker) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks Edmund and sorry for duplicating, I somehow managed to miss your 1937 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
