Does anyone remember this pub and what are your memories of it?

I remember the Cross Pub.It has been there for years and years. The bus used to stop there. If you keep the pub on your left and keep walking you come to the fairy steps. You had to be quiet walking up them and make a wish. The pub was named after a saxon cross was found there. The cross is now in High Bradfield Church. Across the road stood the Post Office and local shop.

I remember the Cross very well...had my (first) stag night in there in 1977 when it was owned by Jack Mirfin, sadly no longer with us.

The pub closed around 1978/9 and the house is currently up for sale. Norman and Lynne Verona, the current owners, have now moved to France.

Patrick Walker - saw him many times at teh folk club up at Minnies (Rose and Crown) in Stannington in teh late 70's - great talent - what happened to him?

he's still around....he played with Dizzy Club for a while and what a great band that was. I saw him only yesterday at High Bank petrol station and he looks better than he has for some time.

I remember him at the Horns folk club years ago when he was about 13. I'd just learned a blues piece on guitar by Stefan Grossman called Hard Hearted Hannah, he recognised it and said could he try......and the little git played it much better than I did!

Yes, used to go there in my teens, although it was converted into cottages quite a few years ago. Shame really as The Plough was never as good and it's the only other pub there, unless you fancy hiking up the hill to High Bradfield.

I was up in Sheff visiting my Mum yesterday and for 'old times sake' bought a Property Telegraph

The Cross (or what use to be the Cross) was up for sale

My mate & I went there once in the early 60's, they had music upstairs but it was full of spoilt brat's with their sports cars parked outside so we never went again.

Great pub. Remember many summer weekends,sat watching a cricket match in the field. With a pint of bitter, just freshly pulled at the adjacent Cross Inn.
Great days.

As you went into The Cross and walked up to the bar, on the right-hand side there was a memorial to victims of the Sheffield Flood of 1864 - does anyone remember this? And here's a (true) story from the days when the No 16 (later 61) bus turned round there. One summer evening, a bus driver went into the pub and asked if the driver of a Land Rover would move it, as there wasn't enough room to turn the bus round. The offending vehicle was owned by a Bradfield farmer - let's call him Farmer Giles - who said "If tha can't turn t' bus round in that space, tha dun't deserve to be driving it". The driver, understandably rattled, replied "If tha thinks tha can turn it round, thee 'ave a go". Farmer Giles finished his pint of Guinness, went outside, got behind the wheel and turned the bus round at the first attempt. Perhaps this is why, soon afterwards, the bus terminus was moved to the other side of the cricket pitch - this spoiled the fun.
