crookedspire   10 #3 Posted June 30, 2015 The Viaduct roughly closed 2002 due to what Iv been told to drug dealing. The Station I would say early 1990s , I used to drink down the Wicker now and again in the early 2000s I don't recall it been open at that time.

That must be ten year ago and I'm sure it was after he left the Viaduct. It seems a long time since he had the Albert with Beryl. Some good nights in there.

ferretman   10 #5 Posted July 1, 2015 This thread brought back memories for me.I can remember Dougie and Beryl doing their training at the Penny Black in Pond St before taking their first pub The Albert opposite the City Hall. This was about 1972/73. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   32 #7 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Here is a link to a picturesheffield.com photo of the Station Hotel that will bring back a few memories; it was taken in 1981. This photo was taken in 1985 and shows the pub boarded up - perhaps this is when it closed, albeit temporarily. According to the write-up for this 1980 photo the pub was haunted..

crookedspire   10 #11 Posted April 8, 2016 The one Wicker pub I never set foot in I don't recall it been open when drinking down their. Any ideas when it closed and what was it like inside its now used as a food outlet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alf1956 Â Â 10 #12 Posted April 8, 2016 I am not sure when it closed but I had my first drink in there when I was about 16 years old. I think the people that had it back then around 1972/3 were Ted & Rose a real odd ball couple ! It was an ok kind of pub with a full size snooker table in the back which we played on regularly. It had rooms for rent upstairs so there always different tradesmen that stayed there that were working in Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
