Did you ever live in Parson Cross? (Part 2)
Richard PX5 replied to TheBatt's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
good on you for not letting these thugs drive you out of the tavern-you have proved you are no pushover and lets hope that this trouble has not scared the local genuine punters away from the tavern-we dont need anymore pubs closing down-pubs these days need the heart of the community to keep the local pub open -

back in the 90's the tavern was always packed out,,,especially when the tombola finished at 10.30 in colley club and people used to walk onto the tavern or the beagle for last orders -
