Edmund Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'm not sure about the accuracy of this account? The Twelve O Clock public house was listed in the Directories of Pigot in 1818 (The Twelve O Clock, J.Ellis, Walk-Mill, Pickle) and of Baines in 1822 (The Twelve O Clock, Hannah Greaves, Walk Mill). One of the wheels at the Walk Mills appears to have only been called "The Twelve O Clock Mortar Mill" for a brief period during 1860 when it made builders material, presumably named after the public house opposite. Crossley's Water Power on Sheffield River only refers to the mills as Walk Mill Wheel(s). In February 1826 a newspaper report about rattening reported the "a quantity of bands were taken from Walk Mill Wheel, near the Twelve O' Clock". I have a vague recollection that the pub was named because of the time that some transport departed from there. A map of 1830 (here : Walk Mill, PictureSheffield )shows that the inn had outbuildings (stables?) and a yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Archer Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Why is the Royal Oak Hotel not mentioned in this report? Does anybody know if anyone has a photo of the Royal Oak Hotel on Savile Street East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tozzin Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The Twelve O’clock had an unfortunate accident happen, one of their customers needed to go to the toilet towards closing time, sadly he went through the wrong door and fell down the cellar steps and died , he wasn’t discovered until the next morning.
