We all knew that area as "T'Hardy Pick", never as Little London Road..
The earlier picture is Marwood. Cross purposes here.Not Marwood. burncross blade has got it right
Jazz pianist who played at times with saxophonist Little Bird Charlie Parker.
The first record I bought from there was a live recording of both Monk and Parker with, as far as I recall and I can’t be bothered to dig it out to check, Mingus, maybe Buddy Rich and a trombonist. That said, as I’m typing I’m starting to think it might have been Bud Powell on the piano and not Monk.He was a fan of something called Thelonious Monk, George has never been moved to discover if this was animal, vegetable or mineral....
I use to go in Scottish queen when boydy had it,20 odd yr ago before they changed all park hill.
Which Rising Sun was that in the first photo? I can't remember any Whitbread ones, so presumably this one is long gone.
It says Fulwood Road Ranmoor ( not Fulwood as the know nowts say).

You are trying to make me look like a dick, although admittedly that isn't too difficult.
Rising Sun, Nether Green, Abbeydale's first pub. A decent boozer but sadly not what it was 2-3 years ago, when Ryan and Nicole ran it.
The second pic you posted shows the current one being built behind it. This is parallel to the Road as opposed to the old one that faced towards Town.
What threw me was theTennents sign, as all their pubs became Whitbread. Pre Abbeydale, it was John Smith's which is a bit odd.

Must have played Ramblin' Rose first then.Saw MC50 (an anniversary supergroup consisting of Wayne Cramer and members of contemporary rock bands) opening for Alice Cooper in L**ds in October.
They played Kick Out the Jams second, which breaks the golden rule of gigging: never play your best-known song early on.
It was John Smiths when l lived up there mid eighties. Graham Pugh was the landlord and the beer was very good. Clientele decent as well, not like the snobby wankers that drank in the Shiny Sheff. (Mainly insurance salesmen).
Well known in the Ecclesfield area back in the day. I spent many a good night in the Griffin and the rest of the squareJacko that’s who I was thinking of
You had to roll 'em about in your mouth for a bit before you could even think of chewing.Great for tooth fillings.
