POPPYCHRISTINA Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Owl at 51 Penistone Road only recorded as open 1948-1951 (by my records). keeper James Hindle Davies - later, alternative Owl was known as the Farfield for most of its life, also called The Owl (1980's ? ) and briefly The Muff Inn - flooded 2007, believe its still closed, maybe someone local can update us please ? Hillfoot Bridge area/376 Neepsend Lane. The Owl was diagonly opposite The Royal Lancers,to the right facing from The Lancers.The Don was on the next corner diagonally opposite Crusteel Where I used to work. The owl had shut down early sixties but The Don was still open open 1970 because we used to play darts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owl had shut down early sixties but The Don was still open open 1970 because we used to play darts there. The implication of my 1948-1951 comment, is, of course, that there is a bunch of data missing or not yet located - not that the place was only open 3 years or indeed 15 years with Poppychristina's input.

Sandroulla Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Re the Don Inn - I have been doing some research on my family tree recently and my Great Great Grandfather Thomas Robinson was the licensee from at least 1881 and through 1891 - he originates from Birmingham but was the start of a huge Robinson family in Sheffield......research is still work in progress!

We use to go for a penneth of broken biscuits to Weeds shop until we found mice poo in the bag. Our mother use to say he'd swept them up off the floor, he had a daughter called Kathleen. As for the Don pub, most of our dads went in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
