The Public House is not named, thought of the Fleur de Lys but searching the licensees in the A to Z compiled by Sheffield History, found: in 1830 a Robert Winter, licensee of the King's Arms, 17 Fargate. 

Thomas Bailey Watson and Cadman of Leeds were probably the owners of the premises, possibly brewers?

Another search found:

Moorfield is a continuation of Gibraltar Street.
