DaveH Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 She'd have been impressed Picture Sheffield http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s21587 May not be in the main list Dunsbyowl but it has been mentioned a few times in the Norfolk Park in the 1970's thread. SteveHB has posted pictures of all the Norfolk Park pubs there, mainly by myself, Poppychristina and SteveHB. However, none of us seem to have a picture of this pub in our collection and SteveHb has been reduced, like yourself, to using a picturesheffield link. As I prefer using our own pictures to picturesheffield links due to the extra hassle of getting to see what is usually a small low resolution version of the picture there is the challenge, - has anyone got a picture of the Captive Queen?

DaveH Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 eh, no I have not No, that's because we didn't go and sup in there very often. It also had a chip shop round the back inthe old quarry, so for many it was straight out of the boozer at 10:30, closing time in those days, then straight in the chippie. It was built on the top edge of the old quarry just outside Norfolk in 1972 and opened in April 1973 I seem to remember Stuart0742 telling me that after leaving school in July 1972 he went to work for British Telecom (Post Office telecommunications as it was then) and one of the first jobs he did after training was fitting the phones in the brand new Captive Queen. The building is still there today but it is now a Zionist church. Previously this church had been a prefabricated building in the bottom of the quarry.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! I have actually got a picture of my own of the Captive Queen after all It was taken on 29 July 1981, - the day of the Royal wedding of Charles and Diana OK I took it with a Minox subminature camera so the quality is not great, but at leasts it is OUR, no copyright terms and conditions to use on this site picture. This is the captive queen when it was open and selling beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad a picture I suppose but I wasd hoping that the telephone wires would show up, they're the ones which Stuart0742 fitted as his first job in Sheffield after leaving school and training to work for HM posts and telecommunications (later to become BT). The pub was brand new then, that was in 1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A telephone wires of the early 70's in Sheffield is going to be a difficult thread to promote :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 A telephone wires of the early 70's in Sheffield is going to be a difficult thread to promote I'm sure Stuart could make it work, its a sort of follow on to the red telephone boxes thread.
