PhilT Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This is a photo taken in the sixties. I think it shows the landlord and his wife with a few other people outside a pub, probably the Wellington, on Carlisle Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 View of the Wellington. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s21757 That's not the Wellington I remember. Perhaps I have the wrong name. It was on Carlisle Road roughly opposite the bottom of Moss Street before they were all knocked down. My father was a regular there and he took the photograph.

It was on Carlisle Road roughly opposite the bottom of Moss Street before they were all knocked down. My father was a regular there and he took the photograph. It certainly was The Wellington. All of us who worked at English Steel Corp on Brightside Lane in the 1960's used it a lot. In the late 50's and early 60's the melting shop men from the Open Hearth furnaces ( which closed about 1963 I think) used to get their beer from there. They got it in large 5 gallon containers and it was used to replenish the liquid they lost from the heat- before salt tablets were used !! I worked with an old melter about 1965 and he thought nothing of drinking in excess of 20 pints in a day !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
