Neepsend Tavern, 144 Neepsend Lane. Worksop Ales, Fred Longden licensee. s06928.jpg.c8656bf56cf4e274cd687c4f927596e9.jpgs06928

On the night of the Sheffield Flood, 11th & 22th March 1864, the Neepsend Tavern and many properties in the area were badly damaged.

Extract from the "A Complete History of the Great Flood at Sheffield" 

"The Neepsend Tavern was partially submerged, and all the houses in 
Neepsend Lane were flooded to a great height. The boundary walls of the river were carried away, and many of the houses were gutted. Neepsend Bridge, built strongly of stone, sustained the shock of the Flood without giving way, but it was much shaken, and a part of the parapets of the bridge were thrown down. The stones were of immense size, and the force by which they were overturned must have been prodigious. A vast quantity of debris, timber, and furniture, was piled up against the bridge, which has formed a barrier to its further progress."
 

The gardens (with statues and a large flagpole) and stables at the Neepsend Tavern were totally destroyed. The property including a Dram Shop, Tap Room, Bar, Brewhouse, Kitchen, Bedrooms & Cellars were badly damaged. 

The tenant and occupier Mary Dyson a widow, had only recently taken over the licence. (1862 Mark Dyson possibly her husband) 

The owners were Messrs. Joseph Garside and Daniel Fossick Alderson of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, were "Common" Brewers trading under the style of "The Prior Well Brewery Company."

It appears a "Club" not named who met there, also lost property.

It's possible Mary Dyson didn't return as landlady; 1865, Joseph Deakin was the landlord recorded in directories.

The Neepsend Tavern closed 1974, had periods of being unoccupied and converted into other uses.
