Guest plain talker Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yes you're spot on 'plain talker' Have a Christmas Pudding What year did it become a pub please? now, I know that my husband and I were newly married when the fight was going on to prevent it from becoming a pub. so that would have been 1993/4 so judging on the need to do any works on the building (like stripping the pews and stuff) would have taken it to about 1995 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 When you walk about in Sheffield and any other town or city there is usually more to be seen historicaly if you look upwards at the upper floors of older buildings. For example what my be a "Costa Coffe" at street level could actually be quite old, this is what I am trying to demonstrate with some of these "Mystery Locations" So to contiue, where is this guy to be found Apologies for the quality, it was taken on my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
