Hello thestars   , have you any more information on this, for instance what year, was it a temperance bar or have you anything else that might be a clue.  I knew the area reasonably well 50 odd years ago but don't remember it in my lifetime at that location.

This video shows the journey to the Tinsley Tram Depot at the junction of Weedon Street and Attercliffe Common in 1960 ( see around the 16:00 minute mark).  Unlikely - but is the Salts place shown?

thanks for your message
I’m researching on behalf of someone. The only info he has was that it was his nans shop and she died in 1969. The family also owned the pheasant and the commercial Hotel.

Yes it was a temperance bar. Number 669. The owner was called Eva Salt and her husband was George Salt.

Eva died on 14th February 1969 at her shop at 661 Attercliffe Common, not far from the junction with Weedon Street.  Possibly this was the shop from where she sold drinks?
