Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Stumbled across this by accident - so many pictures
Pinterest Sheffield

Edit: having said that, some photos appear multiple times. I don't know how Pinterest works, is that automatic or has the owner done it? Lots of interesting photos anyway.

Me and @mrsstringsenior had a conversation the other day whilst sat in the Rising Son, Fulwood Road (picture posted earlier) almost exactly the same as this. She said I would have loved it. I think I would have.

Sounds fantastic doesn't it?

The Cross Daggers in Woodhouse, when it was a Tetley pub which must be early 1960s. The shop to the right was demolished some time in the 60s for road alterations. The Daggers then became a restaurant for years and is now an Indian, 'The Woodhouse Spice'. One of the oldest buildings in the city, date above the door being 1658.

Now

Demolished for road widening, I believe. And Here's the inside from about 1980ish

Where abouts was this pub?

Penistone Road, closed in 1991, demolished 1992 I think.

Yes, you could buy any Stanley tool in there from the Woodside Works just down the road.

I used to get mine straight from Stanleys, wife worked there for years.

Far too modern for me,when I first started going to games there wasn't a price for juveniles it was advertised as boys.

Thanks Ghandi. I don't get up very often, last time I was home it was still open. Any plans for the Daggers?

There was rumours this was going to reopen as a bar. But it seems to have fallen through.

One of my old haunts from back in the day

My Uncle Frank was in mounted police in those days. The white horse was called Yang. The stables were at Red Lane off Broccoli Bank and the mounties used to have take it in turns to look after the horses. When mi Uncle Frank had to work Sundays, I used to go up to the stables and ride Yang round the paddock.

Didn't know the Stag had closed.

Are the George, Angel, Junction and Royal still open?

All are still open except Junction which was converted to a Premier supermarket a couple of years ago.

As did the Brunswick a few years before that. The other week when I went to Woodhouse The George had a load of builders in looked like it was being refurbished, not sure how they managed to prise some of the regulars away from the bar.

I used to live not far from the Brunswick, went to that school. Didn't know the pub was a supermarket.

I remember reading about our players having their pre-match lunch at Davy's and then walk to our ground. Even Wendy players did the same before the derby matches at the Lane. I think they went to the one in Haymarket

alpine blade might confirm

Sorry, Silent. Don't have any more information on that one..

I knew your Uncle Frank well, Robby - we lived close to the stables as kids, and were always made welcome if we popped in. In later years, we always had a word on match days.
You were very lucky, your uncle was a gentleman.

Middle picture - the infamous John O'Gaunt, I grew up just behind it and as kids, aged about 8 years old, we used to climb up onto the flat roof and play on it, crazy stuff.

Think my cousin worked on reception there for years, after she worked at Record Ridgeway
