Could anyone tell me what happened to the Tramways Public House, London Road and the previous tennants. Thanks

Not sure how true it is but supposedly the Tramway and Barlows-next door are to be knocked into one Wetherspoons pub.

i was told by a friend who used to go there reguarly that there was a lot of trouble there. not ness. scrapping and all that but drugs crime and selling stolen goods etc and he thinks this is prob why was shut down and/or owners gave up on it??

Basically any wetherspoons rumour like this should be taken as over optomistic disinformation. Because almost every significant district has a bar or empty pub which someone has announced as a future wetherspoons, but it is not true.

If half of them were true we wold have at least 10 wetherspoons in sheffield by now, but we don't, so they aren't

Ah I have fond memories of sing songs in the back bar of the Tramway ..... used to get an afro-caribean and irish element in .. very exotic

Does anyone have any idea who owns the building or is landlord?

It looks in a sorry state these days, used to be one of many good pubs on London Road.

Apparently it is going to be demolished brick by brick, rebuilt in Gleadless and turned into a curry house

turns out the wetherspoons idea was not too far off. the current planning permission for the site sees the tramway pub demolished and turned into grass. the rest of the barlows building becomes bars and what not. :(

btw mods, isnt this better off in general discussions? it is a general discussion of the building/pub rather than talking about places you can go out to now

It'd be a shame if it was knocked down. It's looking a bit forlorn these days but it's part of the history of the area and could be made into a good pub/bar by someone with a bit of vision. London Road could do with it.

I remember sitting in the back room and some down-at-heel type people would often wander in with carrier bags of random items nicked from Safeways and try to sell them - items such as tins of beans.
