View Full Version : Ecclesfield Indigogo 26-01-2004, 08:40 It's hard to imagine that the tiny slip road cul-de-sac which now serves the Greyhound and Ball Inn was once the main High Street through Ecclesfield, before the shops were built across the road. What was the name of the now demolished pub where the Library now stands, on the end of the High Street shops?

Thanks. As regards Planners, they must have a hard time wondering where to put all the expanding population.

What was the name of the now demolished pub where the Library now stands, on the end of the High Street shops? It was The Sportsman - known by the locals as 'Mary's House' and was actually a little further down than the library, but on the same side. Conway and Cutts electrical shop stood (and had for around 200 years) where the library is. Next door was a Tannery. |
