dunsbyowl1867 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Not on the list Richard ? Straight out of Eastern Europe! Picture Sheffield http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s21478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Looks too late for my interest, please add it into the listings at the appropriate spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Looks too late for my interest, please add it into the listings at the appropriate spot. It seems strange that a lot of the pubs that are missing from our main list are pubs that I know quite well and used to frequent in my younger days. The Byards Leap is just off East Bank Road at Hartop, I think it is still open but not sure. Not far from SteveHB's so he will probably know. Why is it all the pubs round our way have strange or unusual names, - The Byards Leap The Wyvern The Fellbrigg The Jervis Lum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Byards Leap is a small village near where I live in Lincolnshire and an old Lincolshire folk tale OK, so as for those unusual names The Byards Leap a small village in Lincolnshire and an old Lincolshire folk tale The Wyvern no idea what this means, possibly a district / place name but it is Wyvern NOT Wybourn The Fellbrigg I think it's something to do with local Lords and Barons. they always had pictures of knights and medeival stuff up on the walls The Jervis Lum a hollow wooded valley carrying a stream, this is well documented in our Jervis Lum, ancient woodland thread.

I posted it, I don't know where it is - where are our Indexers ? ). What has the Mad Duke got to do with Hallamshire ? How many people did he claim to have killed personally ?

RichardB Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The Wyvern no idea what this means, possibly a district / place name but it is Wyvern NOT Wybourn The Wyvern is named after a mythical beast, similar to a dragon, which was once the emblem of the Kings of Wessex. http://www.swindon.gov.uk/artsandculture/w...vernhistory.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gramps Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I do have it in a book but am too lzt to post see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byards_Leap I'm a little confused about the cause of death (of the witch) - but it's a good yarn ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The Wyvern is named after a mythical beast, similar to a dragon, which was once the emblem of the Kings of Wessex. http://www.swindon.gov.uk/artsandculture/w...vernhistory.htm Thanks Richard, that seems to fit as I think their old pub sign had some sort of dragon like creature, a bit like the dragon on the Welsh flag, on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Byards Leap aka "the backstabbers arms" is, as SteveHB pointed out previously long gone But, - if anyone would like to take over running it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I do have it in a book but am too lzt to post see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byards_Leap The legend of "The Byards Leap" as told in this Wikipedia link posted by Dunsbyowl fits in perfectly with their old pub sign As the pub is closed and the sign is still there I will repost the image in the pub signs thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
