It's half demolished!
It's going to be a Costa Coffee and drive through KFC or some other shit. Only the stone facade will be left from the original building.
I started my drinking life in The Pheasant, It holds great memories for me (and my wife, we met there, she worked behind the bar). I still live just along the road from it. Every time i go past I think what a bollocks they're making of everything!
Now, where did I put my time machine?

Good days.
All the pubs have gone but they can't demolish our memories and build flats on them!

Used to start in there some Friday nights as I had mates who lived at Lane Top, bus down the hill towards Ecclesfield, one in the pub that's now a funeral home, walk into Ecclesfield to the Greyhound and Blue Ball (now a vets) then onto the square, Stocks, Griffin and White Bear (only the Stocks left), sometimes the Bull and down to the pub that's now the curry place at the end of the Common.

As interesting as this thread is, it is at times quite depressing. Sheffield was never the prettiest town and Goering had a hand in remodelling the place, but the wanton destruction of beautiful old buildings and their replacement with modern carbuncles and roads is criminal. I know I'm coming over a bit Prince Charles, but I can guarantee that the building they're replacing the pub with, even with facade, won't be a patch on the original and within twenty years will be a crappy eyesore they're looking to pull down.

The Arundel.
 
It is such a shame that so many pubs are disappearing. Times change and a lot of dreadful pubs deserved to go, but so many good pubs have gone because of a lack of customers. People don't realise what they have. Over here the thing I probably miss the most - apart from polite, cheerful people with a sense of humour - is a decent pub to drop in to whenever I fancy a pint. They simply don't exist here in anything close to a British pub.

Think that was Brian, had the Horse Shoe late 70's early-mid 80's. His son worked behind the bar, also Brian.
Don't know where he went when he left though.
