johnm 20 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I don't know its history but had a pint in there many times mostly after being in Concord Park for various activities. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lysandernovo 34 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 It was known ,locally, as "Affertey's" after an earlier landlord. The pub had a large beer garden...where I was taken as a child and, latterly, took my children and a seperate single storey building which could be hired for "occasions". A great pub.... a regular "drinking hole" of mine... when the landlord ( an ex fireman) had a brass, highly polished firemans helmet securely fastened at the end of the bar ...although I can't remember drinking Hammonds there! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sadbrewer 8 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The earliest I can find it at the moment is 1896. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lysandernovo 34 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 As an aside "forkmaking" was an old Shiregreen trade and there were remains of old workshops near the corner of Hadfield House and Bellhouse Road certainly into the early 1980s when I left the area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
