I am researching my family tree and have discovered that my G.G. Grandad owned/ran a beerhouse at 49/51 Harvest Lane in 1901.

What I`d like to find out is what's the name of the beerhouse he had, I have searched but can`t find the name, does anyone have any idea where I could find this info ?

Thanks Folks

what was his name,try looking on the 1901 census,or even the 1891 census may give you the name of the pub.

I dunno if it changed it's name, but this is a 1960's pic (http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.id=8949)

1901 whites directory has George Linley grocer at 51 Harvest lane
1891 has Thomas Mason grocer perhaps it was a beeroff
it was near the corner of Mowbray street now -awv turner rex fireprevention

No I used to lease the Sawmakers ,it's the last building in the picture other end of the block.

Thanks Retep this is he, on the census its 49/51 though
and listed as a beerhouse, so yes perhaps it was a beer off as well...........

the sawmakers was on neepsend lane though ,wasnt it?

Checked the book "A Pub on every Corner" and can't see a pub listed at that address on Harvest Lane. Did the house numbers change after 1901???

As I understand it a beerhouse wasn't necessarily a pub. Just a place where people could buy and drink beer. Often the shopkeeper brewed it themselves on the premises. I think the licensing laws changed a lot between the 19th and mid 20th centuries.

My great great grandfather also used to have a beerhouse on Cemetary Road. There was a lot more beer drinking went on in the "olden days" by the sound of it. When I was young, there seemed to be a shop on every corner and a lot of them were "beer offs" too.

Yes it was no. 1, numbers running away from town, it does look odd but it was on a corner. the back yard ran through to Mowbray street

Got a picture of the old Harrow on Harvest Lane with everything round it demolished.
