dunsbyowl1867 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Star article added to main list Article in Star newspaper 17/11/09 http://www.thestar.co.uk/headlines/Pub-gia...ield.5829516.jp Pub giant buys landmark Sheffield pub Published Date: 17 November 2009 PUB giant JD Wetherspoon will spend £800,000 on a revamp after buying a landmark pub on the outskirts of Broomhill. The Aunt Sally on Clarkhouse Road has closed and will reopen in January after the redevelopment. A Wetherspoon spokesman said it would retain its name and all staff would be offered jobs with the firm. The former Punch pub was purchased by Wetherspoon for an undisclosed amount. The Aunt Sally will specialise in cask-conditioned beers from local and regional brewers. It will be music-free and serve food throughout the day. The pub will be wheelchair accessible and have an adapted toilet for customers with disabilities. Information boards and photos relating to local characters and the history of the area will be displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Pevsner just says 'numerous pleasant mid-19c houses on the south side of Clarkehouse Road'. I think the same building was revived i the late 1970's or early 80's as Sheffield Boys' Grammar School, a short-lived private school. I was told a couple of years ago that Aunt Sally's were doing some alterations to the grounds at the rear, and needed to remove a rockery wall made of crozzle. It turned out to be so tough the contractors reckoned nothing short of blasting would do it, so it was left in place. I think this is the place, under another name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huthwaite Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Used to attend here in the mid seventies when Lynwood was used by King Edward VII School, we accessed it via Antrim Avenue, it was like entering a secret world, trees and shrubs all overgrown. We had technical drawing lessons upstairs in the main building, I remember the ornate plaster ceilings and imposing staircase, also found this link: http://www.avel65.dsl.pipex.com/lynwood/home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember that being the language dept and had a 6th form common room in it when I was there in the early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
