Sheffield History Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 At the start of When Saturday Comes the young Jimmy and Russell Muir head out of school and sneak into the local pub for a pint! The pub in When Saturday Comes is called The Fox House but at the time it was really The Shakespeare on Well Road in Heeley. (It's now called The Brothers Arms) Landlord of The Shakespeare at the time was David Fox who has now left the trade but still lives in Heeley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield History Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 The Fox House was the name of the pub in When Saturday Comes In real life it was Ye Olde Shakespeare Inn on Well Road (now The Brothers Arms just to confuse things a bit more!)

Sheffield History Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 In When Saturday Comes the lads have a sneaky pint thanks to a barmaid that the lads notice is well blessed in the buxom department. Things soon come to a head though when their dad spots them boozing and kicks them out and gives them a clout round the ear Question is though - was this filmed inside the Shakespeare or were the internal shots filmed elsewhere?

It's very difficult to see how the inside of the Shakespeare (Brothers) could have been made up to look like that. There were several possibilities with the "sawn off" corner though the internal layout knocks out many from consideration. Checking some older external photos pretty much fixes it, not unreasonably, as the Fox House, Darnall (cnr Shirland & Ardmore). The windows are interesting, quite similar in form to a number of other former Tennants properties, though using colouration you only now see in their most elaborate surviving designs. The bar paraphenalia looks in keeping with it's later status as a "Stones freehouse", too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
