Here's one I took earlier,- think it was 1910

There was a story told about the old Pheasant that when Spence Broughton's body arrived from York to be hung from the gibbet, it was on the kitchen table of the Pheasant that all the chains were fastened around his body.

Hope they gave it a good scrub afterwards !

Do we know any more about the Pheasant Inn or Stumble Inn as this building used to be?

Would love some photos of the inside when it was a pub!

William and Mary Jane Salt, pioneer of open-air boxing. s09046

William Salt died 14/11/1932. Newspaper cutting; One of Sheffield's best -kniown sportsmen, Mr. William Salt died yesterday at his home, 244, Firth Park Road, at the age of 73. During his long and active career he played a conspicuous part in many and varied sports, though he is best remembered as one of the pioneers of open-air boxing in Sheffield, at the old Inn sports grounds. The late Mr. Salt was born in Manchester , and in his young days was a very fine swimmer. it is said that he saved the lives of several people at one time or another. He frequently rescued people from the Rochdale Canal, while on one occasion he jumped into the sea at Blackpool and brought to shore people who had got into difficulties. After he had been in Sheffield some time Mr. Salt ventured into business as a fishing tackle dealer. Angling appealed to him and he achieved many successes in the arts of Issac Walton. He was a member of a team that won the Haig and Haig trophy and an All-England match. From anging he turned to the licensing trade, and then branched out as a promoter of various amusements for the public. Taking the Lodge Inn, Newhall Road, football claimed his interest, and as member of the Baldwin Street Club he assisted in winning several competitions, including the old 'Lewis' Cup. Later he became connected with the old Attercliffe F.C. Mr. Salt took over the tenancy of the old-fashioned Pheasant Inn at Carbrook, where he planned a good sports ground. Trotting races and matches he promoted attracted entries from all parts of the country. With the development of the grounds, foot racing was a feature of Carbrook for a number of years, and he cultivated the enthusiasm of bowlers by laying down a green that was second to none in the district. Probably the greatest of his later efforts was in boxing. Old stagers, as well as a few of the younger enthusiasts will recall the excellent programmes he held at the Pheasent Inn grounds. One year, nearly every champion in the country attended the enclosure, and among the famous boxers who have fought in contests are Gus Platts, Tom Gummer, Iron Hague, Lew Edwards, Young Brum and Sheffield's Champion Johnny Cuthbert. Mr. W. Bridgewater, the well known Doncaster sportsman, was associated with Mr. Salt in his later ventures, and together they worked very hard. Before open-air boxing was general, Carbrook shows often attracted crowds of 10,000 people. Mr Salt organised many treats for the children and charity shows. Married over 50 years ago, he leaves a widow and family of ten children.

Was this the original Pheasant Inn of the engravings of the 1700's? 

When was this demolished to be replaced by another to be named Pheasant Inn?

[Edmund]

At the September 1853 Brewster Sessions, John Fowler successfully applied for a wines and spirits licence. He told the magistrates that the Pheasant Inn had been a beerhouse for 23 years, which takes it back to 1830.  No doubt the premises had been in existence for many years - possibly the same ones illustrated on the 1792 Hides engraving.

Pheasant Inn

 

[Ponytail]

The more modern Pheasant Inn was built about 1926;  the original stood for 3 centuries and belonged to the Howden and Fowler families. (Ref: A-Z of Sheffield Public Houses by Michael Liversidge)

The renamed Pheasant Inn, caused much controversy when the developer gutted the interior and as you will see repainted the outside.
