How many pubs do you remember from your childhood at Pitsmoor. I thought it might be an interesting topic.:thumbsup:

The Marshall Arms.

The old Toll Gate, I remember the present Gate being built behind the old Gate, this remained open until the new was built then was demolished.

Would the 'Sportsman' count, it's not too far away, just down the main rd, on the left hand side going towards Firvale.

The Gardeners and the Crown(now offices) at the bottom of Rutland Rd
The Malton, the Sawmakers, the Wheatsheaf, the Stag,Brown Cow, I think there was one called Bridgehouses where the garage was opposite the Brow Cow(now Riverside)

Malton Hotel, Burton Road just down from the Rutland Cinema.

Ball In , bottom of Pitsmoor Road
Rock Inn, corner of Pitsmoor Rd /Chatham Street
Rock Tavern, top of Rock St
Marshall Tavern (Bacon Box), Pitsmoor Rd
Fitzalan Tavern, Fitzalan St.
Sportsman Inn, Marcus Street,
New Inn, Montfort St.
Albion, Verdon Street
Merry Heart,
Cromwell View, top Spital St

I think I missed some!!

Remember the Wheatsheaf in the 60s I used to do the egg and spoon race there in the Spring bank holidays and the horses in the stables.
I have some footage of the landlady and landlord of the time to on video.

Here you go kidorry, it's the Marshall TAVERN.
The Bridgefield, top of Fowler Street, the Woodman, opposite the bottom of Woodfold, the Fowler Street Hotel, corner of Hayward Road and Fowler Street, Fox and Duck, Pitsmoor Road. I guess the first three have gone to the great boozer heaven in the sky.

Fitzalan Tavern.

Think , if you look at a street map you will find those pubs are in Pitsmoor, even Burngreave Cemetery is in Pitsmoor, some of the other pubs mentioned are more Woodside and Neepsend.

The Gardeners and the Crown(now offices) at the bottom of Rutland Rd
The Malton, the Sawmakers, the Wheatsheaf, the Stag,Brown Cow, I think there was one called Bridgehouses where the garage was opposite the Brow Cow(now Riverside)

Just to complicate things, where the Crown now is or was, stood The Rutland Hotel, the original Crown was opposite the Gardeners Rest.

Hey painterman, putting Neepsend on one side, I was born on Fox Street. Lived there and on Woodside Lane. I always regarded Woodside Lane as Pitsmoor. I think Woodside has become a district in itself, didn't used to be though. It was a long thoroughfare was Woodside Lane. Where I lived it was regarded as Pitsmoor (top end).
It seems a shame that Woodside Lane has been disregarded in recent years, It's been there a long time.

The Signpost on Andover Street, the Furnival, the Limes Club and the legend which is the Loco Club :thumbsup:

Is the Limes Club and Institute still in operation?

I lived at the top of Woodside Lane, until the Slum Clearance in the 50s. It was about 300 yds from the Pitsmoor Club so, yes, I reckon it was Pitsmoor.

Is the Limes Club and Institute still in operation?

No, the Limes Club was flattened years ago. It's all housing there now.

As a matter of interest where would you draw the boundary line of Pitsmoor ? Would it include Nursery St for instance, and the Wicker ? I assume Spital Hill would be within, but it is really a continuation of The Wicker I would have thought. Whilst I am on, I used to have a pal on Woodfold, one Dave Blockley, and we used to do a fair bit of pushbiking round the area. Was there ever a take -away chinese chippie around the top of Woodside Lane in the mid 50's called Lin Hong or Chin Hong or is it my wonky memory playing tricks?

There could well have been, when i was a kid i remember going in a lorry with a couple of other kids Aaron White's daughter was driving, we went looking around the demolition site and i can remember finding a set of false teeth made of gold i can remember it being from some chinese place but can't remember if it was a chippie, can remember the scutch my mother gave me when i took the teeth home, she binned them :D
would have been somewhere near the bottom of Woodfold

I think I missed some!!

Wasn't there a pub called The Vine - on Brunswick Road at the corner of Bramber Street?

I lived at the bottom of Wood Fold, where it joined Woodside Lane. I can't recall a Chinese Take away or anyone with Gold false teeth. But I'll ask my Mum, she'll remember. Fancy throwing away a set of Gold false teeth, they would have been worth a few bob.

I remember there was quite a lot of papers about with Chinese type writing on, so presumed it was a Chinese family who'd lived there, but it was quite a few years back and if it wasn't for the teeth i'd have probably never remembered.

There was a shop opposite the bottom of Woodfold pitsmoorlad, didn't do a lot as far as I remember, but a shop nontheless.
I realize it's getting off subject, but I got to thinking about the Pitsmoor, boundaries. I think, to be fair, anything from Rugby Street down, could be regarded as Neepsend. Anything from the top of Cookswood Road would have to be Shirecliffe. Anything from the right hand side of Burngreave Road, Burngreave. Which leaves poor old Birley Street.

It's a bit odd none of you Pitsmoor locals remembered the Bay Horse - that and the old 'Gate' were probably the oldest pubs in Pitsmoor.

Back in 1972 I’d just started work at Thomas Rudd & Son which was on Woodfold earning the princely sum of $6.40 per week gross. The first pub I went in regularly was the Rock on Rock Street (the landlord turned a blind eye to pimply 16/17 olds on a quiet Wednesday night, provided you sat in the corner and behaved yourself)

Me and my mate Mark reckoned on needing 62p each for damn good night out. 13p a pint and 2 x 5p piece for the juke box gave us four pints each (more than enough at that age to get a wobble on as we walked home) and about 16 records of our choice. If we were feeling flush it was round to the white house chippy for a bit of supper.

I remember getting done for playing brag in the Rock many many years ago (got fined £5 and my name in the Star) with my mates. Always known as Rock Vegas after that.

Here you go kidorry, it's the Marshall TAVERN.
The Bridgefield, top of Fowler Street, the Woodman, opposite the bottom of Woodfold, the Fowler Street Hotel, corner of Hayward Road and Fowler Street, Fox and Duck, Pitsmoor Road. I guess the first three have gone to the great boozer heaven in the sky.

and so has the Fox and Duck - it was demolished a few years ago, shortly before the Highway and almost the entire Woodside housing estate.

Yeah, I remember the Bay Horse, it's where Mrs Silcox got done for after hours drinking. She was well known for airs and graces, she lived up Cookswood Road after all.

lisalee i now you know ronni jackson i wonder if you now louis and ted devine they lived on the first st rd past the shops going down nottiingham st to brunswick rd that was in the 60s

there was a grocery shop shop opposite the bottom of Wood Fold. Was it called Woodheads, can't remember a chip shop.

Chips ? we couldn't afford chips. There were 26 of us in one bed and we had to share a slice of bread and dripping .

Is The East House on Spital Hill still in existence ? I really must move back up north.

The Gate at the Toll Bar, was that the pub next to the gas station? I always get mixed up with the names of that one and the pub opposite the old Pitsmoor school.
The pub at the Toll Bar had a parrot in a cage, anybody remember that? Couldn't half swear. And a guy who used to collect glasses, looked as if he'd been a boxer at one time.

Is The East House on Spital Hill still in existence ? I really must move back up north.

yep the east house is still open and does a roaring trade supplying refreshments to the mangler indian restaurant across the road which is'nt licenced sells large pitches of ale.

Hey swervin', do you mean to say they sell pitchers of beer in that Indian (with a mark up of course) sounds very civilized to me. Only ever seen that in the U.S.

lisalee i now you know ronni jackson i wonder if you now louis and ted devine they lived on the first st rd past the shops going down nottiingham st to brunswick rd that was in the 60s

I remember the Jacksons & Divines, I worked with Louis for a while in the late 60's

You had dripping on your bread! you lucky bleeder, and a bed as well? Your family must have been well off.

I believe that was the Bowling Tavern.

Was the landlord of the Bowling Tavern called Albert Gregg who later had the Harlequin

I remember getting done for playing brag in the Rock many many years ago (got fined £5 and my name in the Star) with my mates. Always known as Rock Vegas after that.

Don't often see many blokes(or lasses) playing cards nowadays, when my Dad had The Manchester in the 50's nearly all the blokes in the dram played solo, brag etc, plus dominoes of course and it was usually for money, though small stakes it was illegal as was taking the bets on the gee-gees. What other games were played in the pubs then (darts of course)

From what i remember (it was 35 years ago) you could play darts, dominoes,draughts, chess, cribbage and bridge (?) in a pub legally (no Betting allowed).

There was a landlord at the Manchester Hotel called Walt, he had a son called Ian.Cleaning the living quarters on a saturday was my job (for my spending money).After getting married we still went in there John was the first landlord I remember, after him came Peter and Janet Flynn, then Bob and Linda. Now its called the Harlequin. Had some good nights out there and they had a good football team

No one has mentioned the Catherine Arms, although I lived just up the road in the early seventies I never dared go in (far to scarey for this teenager) but it did seem to be full of larger than life Characters.

There was a little shop attached to it were the lovely Wendy Nightingale would sometimes be behind the counter, didn't buy much there but spent a lot of time "browsing"

She worked there with her Mum (cant remember her name) and a big girl called Susan (sue). I remember seeing her announcement in the Star, and was really shocked, she was so young....... I remember going to her house for tea, she lived in some maisonettes up the side of the Bay Horse pub at Pitsmoor. As you said, always smiling and good for a laugh.

My uncle and aunt worked at Rudds, and my father worked there until 1985.

There was a pub on the corner of Ditchingham Road and Grimesthorpe Road before the clearances. Can anyone remember what it was called? Just to settle an argument, thanks :)

I think it got closed down recently, dont know if its reopened/going to reopen.yes it's opened most of it 's trade comes from the curry houses now though ,they send jugs over for lager for their customers ,brian has it now and i think trade is so bad he doesnt open until 6 pm

[QUOTE=john
Are these really in Pitsmoor though.?..Think more Burngreave Ellesmere area than Pitsmoor.!

In the 40's, 50's and 60's, Pitsmoor covered a large area, the border at that time was from around the toll gate [Barnsley Rd / Rutland road] to Carlisle st, and from Nursery st to just past Carwood Rd on Petre st, so the Hallcar, Corner Pin and Carwood were in Pitsmoor too.
The areas of Burngreave, Ellesmere and others were named sometime after 1970 after we left the area, we lived on the corner of Carwood Rd & Petre St, Which was Pitsmoor, Sheff 4 at the time, it's now evidently Ellesmere.

I was half-wrong, I thought it was the Ditchingham Arms :confused:. My paternal grandmother had a business on the opposite corner in the 50s/60s. It was a hair salon called The Crest.

My father sometimes called in there with his brothers when we went to visit her.

My mum Lily is still doing fine usual ailments. Yes Lynne was only 43 when she past away ,She had not been in the best of health for a few years pryer but never let that stop her from having a laugh. I think your right with Sue her good friend for years

I remember a "hole in the wall" near the Wicker ?

Yes the hole in the wall was near the Wicker arches. I dont know whether its still standing though. It had a mural of what you would see if there was a hole in the wall looking towards the river,I dont know what the pub was origanally called?

I lived at the top of Woodside Lane, until the Slum Clearance in the 50s. It was about 300 yds from the Pitsmoor Club so, yes, I reckon it was Pitsmoor.



No, the Limes Club was flattened years ago. It's all housing there now.

Just as an aside, I remember seeing Lilly Marlene, the stripper, push her breast into a handled pint glass and push out all the beer. Those were the days when you could afford to spill a pint.

The pub at the corner of Ditchingham and Grimesthorpe road was the Brunswick, the landlord in the early 60s a fella called Finney. The Buckenham Arms was on the next corner up, corner of Grimesthorpe road And Buckenham Road, my father took over the Buckenham in 1959 and we left in 1964, Charlie took over later.

Has anyone mentioned the Gower Arms on opposite corner to Grapes on Gower Street. We lived just above in a row of 'back to back' houses. Fronts faced onto Gower Street and the other house at the back faced into a yard, which was what we lived in. There were toilet blocks in the middle of the yard. The houses across the yard had access to Clun Street. We got rehoused in 1963 due to slum clearance.

Can you remember a girl called Doreen Kingswood who lived in one of those yards?

Sorry, but that name doesn't ring a bell. I do remember a girl called Barbara Turner who lived further down Gower St, and there was a family called Moore lived in our yard but that's about all.

Stu Smith.

I mentioned pitsmoor hotel before.

The best pub in Pitsmoor in the 50/60s was the Hallcar Tavern run by my best mates parents the Trings. My mum worked behind the bar Mary Smith.

What was the name of the pub that was kept by Walt Millership(ex Sheffield Wednesday centre half)I remember going there after a wedding around 1945,I believe it was the Fitzalan,from what i remember of if there was a top Fitzalan and a bottom one at that time

Loco Club on pye bank road !!

Cant believe no-one has mentioned the Robin Hood that used to be on Ellsemere Road. It was one of the busiest pubs ever in the early 1980's.

in the late 80's the robin hood was full of low life.

Totally disagree it was a good house and all the low life were barred! Obviously you didnt go in the pub after it was refurbished.

No Sarah only went in once that was enough. Prostitutes, pimps, rasters etc. definately not my cup of tea.

Dont know when yr talking about but my parents owned that pub in the very early 80's and they got rid of the crap. They sold it to Marstone brewery so dont know if it went down hill then. We had it totally refurbished and it looked good.
