Stuart0742 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I suppose the logical next step is to find the "why's and wherefores" of it having been a WMC. I haven't found anything written about it up to now. Well looks like you have the location, so how does the WMC fit in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've not the foggiest where it is. I went traipsing most of the streets around London Road, Little Sheffied and Highfields looking for it, also searched on Google street for hours, never found the building. Somewhere near to Bramall Lane ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilldweller Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Right answer HD, how did you know ? I could see the carved stone sign above the pub door, the one that still exists today, a bit nearer the ground and which I pass at 8 mph many times.. A quick look on Picture Sheffield confirmed it.

THYLACINE Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The last time I was at this place was in 1972. I know a little about it's history. Does anyone recognise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think I might know. Is it in a public park, and when you were there in 1972 this facade was very different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilldweller Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 ...and carved into this stone it says "The Grouse & Trout, Redmires" Not quite but it does feature a shield bearing 3 trout with a grouse perched on top. And it is at Redmires. Talking about grouse I walked past a small forest of cut christmas trees outside our local greengrocers just before Christmas. I was startled when a red grouse suddenly flew up from within them shouting it's "go back, go back" call very loudly. It must have thought it had found found another little wood, it flew over onto the golf course. At least it wasn't a partridge in a pear tree.

THYLACINE Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think I might know. Is it in a public park, and when you were there in 1972 this facade was very different? It was a private residence on the outskirts of Sheffield. In 1972 there were no grounds as in the photo. The house had been taken over by 'industry' (without giving too much away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilldweller Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's me out then. Back to the 'thinking chair'...! I seem to spend much more time on the "naughty step" than I do in the "thinking chair". Despite the best efforts of my dear wife I steadfastly refuse to "grow up" or "act my age". I've come to the conclusion that a sense of humour is something mostly confined to the male of the species. Present company excepted of course. Goes back to naughty step and waits for the wrath to come. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
