I am trying to find information about the Tramcar Inn which used to be at 851 Attercliffe Road.....i dont think it is there now but i think it was there until after the 1950's.....

I have just found out a member of my family was the publican there at the turn of the twentieth century so any information about the pub would be gratefully received.....

Many Thanks!

Hi jatk,

You're right the Tramcar pub in no longer there, it disappeared sometime in the 1970's. I remember there always used to be a fruit and veg barrow parked outside on the side-street, always busy too.

For a great photo of the Tramcar go to:

Go to photo No. 202, about three quarters down the page. It looks like it was taken sometime in the 60's.

Hi Pietro

Thank you so much for this.....it is a really good photo and its great to see what the pub looked like rather than just have a name.....

Quite a few of my family seemed to be publicans at that time...so i wasnt suprised to find another one!.....they seemed to go from working in the steel or cutlery industries to having a pub in their later years......

Many thanks again

I can remember the lovely painting of a Sheffield blue and cream tram on the pub sign, wonder what happened to that?

the tramcar inn was at the top of clay street .i lived on clay street from 1958 to 1971.i remember my grandad complaining that beer had gone up to 9d ,i bet he would do a bit of complaining these days ,bless his soul.

The sign for the Tramcar Inn is at the Tram museum at Criche near Matlock

The Tramway sign is alive and well and can be seen at the tram museum, Criche Nr Matlock

Sorry for duplicating didn't think the 1st one had been received
