RichardB Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 From Kelly's Directory 1856 1856 Travellers Rest Langsett Road, Oughtibridge. Jarvis Almond. Could the " open 1948 " be a missprint, I think It's more like 1848 it's a very old pub. Read it more as "the earliest known keeper we have found so far is 1948" and take it as an open invitation to provide earlier keepers - you taken this one back nearly 100 years which is much closer to the "real" date, could be even earlier, but, from this Sites viewpoint only earlier if we can find a source stating the name, an address (however vague) and a keeper. Please treat all "open 1948" and "open 1951" Pubs as described above; probably all opened many years before that. The Leg of Mutton and Trimmings is not yet included, because although we think it was run by Mr Waterfall and was somewhere near Smithfields - it has never shown up in any Trade Directory or other reliable printed source.

While doing my own research I came across alot of other interesting things. there is lots more dates and names but didn't have the time and also I thought you would have already got them. I will have another look next week. I have noticed the street numbers of the pubs differ a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 From the 1851 census Alexander Roberts, beer keeper of the Weeping Willow Penistone Road. Beautifully found, undeniable. Since you found it, you decide whether it goes in as a Pub, or a beerhouse (it does have a name which is as good as many) ... Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's suprising what you see when you're looking for something else. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THYLACINE Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Union Inn 651 Attercliffe Common Open 1871 Closed 1940 Span 69 Comments Earlier 1871 William Collier 1948 Tom C Barber 1951 William Downs Knocked out to actually see a reference to William Downs my father-in-law whom I never met, since he died in 1956 long before I met and married his daughter. She was born in the Union Inn in 1951, we married in 1971 and emigrated to Australia 2 years later. We celebrate our 38th anniversary this year. Attached 2 pictures, one of the Union in 1978 when we came back for a visit, the other is my father-in-law in the back yard of the pub with his firstborn son. Am I to understand that the Union was not operating in 1951? This seems to be at odds with what my wife tells me, i.e. that she was born under the best bitter, her Mum was working as a barmaid (and Publican!) at the time.

Happy to help Thank you for the added detail and especially the photos. According to the list it was operating in 1951, but, we can't say for how long after that it. My decision was, originally, to halt the search in 1951 - other Pubs have snuck in there since, but 1951 remains our official "cut-off" date. I can't offer any information after that date, perhaps other members can add to the known history. Good Luck, keep us updated please.

dunsbyowl1867 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Whirlow Bridge Pub details added to main list :- 'The Whirlow Bridge Inn was built around 1846 on the curve of an old turnpike road. Originally a beer house, it had a double frontage, stabling and was a pleasant place for travellers to stop. In the 1920's it became a favourite oasis for walkers from te city as there was little traffic and the area was still very rural. However the landlord lost his licence and the inn was then converted into use for a tea rooms. It later became a private residence and was demolished in August 1938.' from Ecclesall by Ecclesall Local History Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
