Old United Pubs

[Silent Blade]

Steve Cardwell used to do the doors in Sheffield sound lad
Graham is a pig fan say no more

Steve (passed away in Dec 2013), Graham and Mark (his partner's daughter is married to Gary Cahill) are Wendy fans. Saw Graham a few days ago at Sainsburys. Jeff, Mick and Phil (passed away in October 1975) are Blades. I remember Steve working as a bouncer at Locarnos with my mate Richard (who also worked at Charlie Parkers, Climax 2000 and Josephines and I often got into these places for free!)

Are you thinking of Scamps, which used to next to the Hofbrauhaus on the corner of Eyre street and Matilda Street. I finished up in there on my Stag night in 1975 via Stonehouse, Buccaneer and Wapentake.

Tramps was a different place to Scamps. Tramps was on King Street - back of what was C&A, and along from Sexy Rexy clothes shop...... I think.

EDit... might be mixing things up here... but Tramps was definitely not Scamps - at least 15 years between them... (maybe Sexy Rexy was somewhere else....)

Edit Again: Tramps might have been what Turn-ups became before it closed....??? or was attached to it somehow... .and the clothes shop on King Street might have been called Tramps too.... totally bloody confused now!

Yep I think he owned the Locano as well.

Different time scale then

When it opened Dave Allen owned it and his name was on the licence

 

[grafikhaus]

Turn Ups!

That's the one! Nearest pub was Brincliffe Oaks, now long gone.

Yup, lower end of Cambridge Street. Owned by Rex Caplin who later moved into 'property'. Well dodgy. Around the same time, on the left-hand side of Fargate near where W H Smith now is - Western Jean Company ('How the West was worn').

I had my stag night down the Wicker walk

Now we're casting the net wider! The Wicker was a legendary crawl. Big Gun, Brown Cow, Hole in the Wall, Lady's Bridge, Station, Viaduct. Any more?

That is great. I'm very tempted to buy one.

I wouldn't bother. Hopelessy inaccurate and outdated.

 

[metty]

You must have been well pissed because The Buccaneer shut in 1973

I'm getting a bit confused in old age Bert. Ah the 70's, happy days.

There is one of those up in the Commercial Chapeltown, it has all the pubs that have closed crossed off on it, which there is quite a few.

 

[Grappler]

Froggatts were off Jordanthorpe originally from Woodhouse,
Wats also lived on the Jordo but used to live on the Valley went to Gleadless Valley School.
I see Wats at the dogs regular.

Yep that would be him. Went to Herdings Youth Club and Gleadless Valley School

I remember the flats behind Western Jean Company being owned by a bloke called Cyril Caplin, or Caplan, must have been related?

The one they are selling on that site (http://pubstops.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=163) is an updated version. Far fewer pubs on it and sponsored by Thornbridge. Think it was done in 2013 and ironically, it might need a few adding.

This was my haunt when I lived in Sheffield. Worked here for a while and Saturday lunch times were always lively before the match.

Any guesses?

 

[metalblade]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Queens Rd Club, The Railway Club (now Farm Rd Club) or the Olive Grove pub on this thread. Or maybe even the old Jervis Lumb at the bottom of Norfolk Park.

Jervis Lumb? You posh bastard! Dunno if it's still around, but this news story from 1999 pretty much sums up the place.

Drinkers shaved dead man's head

An inquest has heard how a man in a pub died while friends partied around him and played practical jokes on him.

They shaved one side of Ian Clifton's head and took photographs of him with an inflatable doll.

Mr Clifton, 35, had been dead for up to an hour at the Jervis Lumb pub close to his home in Norfolk Park, Sheffield.

Last October he called at the pub and joined a birthday party for a member of the pub's fishing team.

By 10pm, Mr Clifton had become unconscious after drinking about 11 pints of lager and a quantity of home-made punch throughout the course of the day, the inquest heard.

Duty of care

As he lay out cold in the pub, his friends shaved one side of his head and placed an inflatable doll on him which they photographed. This was described as common practice at the pub.

Some time later an ambulance was called, and paramedics found Mr Clifton was dead.

A forensic pathologist told the inquest that he had died of acute alcoholic poisoning.

Returning a verdict of accidental death contributed to by neglect, Coroner Chris Dorries expressed concern that such an incident could occur in a busy public house.

He plans to write to Sheffield's licensing magistrates, so that they can remind other publicans of their duty of care to customers.

Nice! This is the landlord...

What about the garden on hay market that became a popular venue for a certain type of blade until after Rotherham away one year the police car went rolling down the road .

That was the husband of the badge lady on the corner of Cherry St / Shoreham St who was thought to be drunk and asleep.

Bull and Mouth, Lion.
We used to start in the Brunswick on Haymarket

 

[metalblade]

A lass who lived near us in the early 70's used to frequent the Bull and Mouth, a dirtier fat slag you would never be likely to meet, by the time she was 17 all the watches at Elm Lane fire station had given her a good hosing.
