"In a yard in Dun Street, Green Lane, an old man named Dennis M’Laughlin was drowned in his bed. He lived alone in a room on the ground floor, which was flooded up to the ceiling. In an adjoining room lived the old man's donkey, and there it died by the same calamity which overwhelmed its master. Another family living in the same yard had a narrow escape. They too slept on the ground floor; but they were warned just in time. They rushed out in their night clothes, almost up to their necks in water; but soon reached the house of a neighbour, where they were safe." List of dead. Dennis McLaughlin, age 74 Dun Street.

I was thrilled to see the Queen's at 37 Dun Street, Shalesmoor listed on your website http://www.sheffield...733 My father and mum (Mr Brian Salmons and Mrs Kathleen Salmons) were tenents of this Whitbread pub from the late 50s until 1965 and I grew up there. As I remember it was actually called the Queens Hotel and only opened in the evenings on weekdays. Best regards, Brian. Further information Thanks for your mail. I know for certain is that we moved out in March 1965. I was born in 1958 and they were already at 37 Dun Street then.They were married in 1956 and lived for a few months with Dad's mum before moving to the Queens so I am sure they did not take over from Mrs Gracie Lewin. When we were there it was a Whitbread pub and we used to go to the Brewery HQ on Lady's bridge. I recall it was the Queen's Hotel and remember we had lodgers.
