  1. Does anyone know anything about this place? I seem to remember it being open in the late 1980s but any info anyone has other than this would be much appreciated!
  2. As part of my research on Sheffield pubs I seem to recall that in the mid 1990s someone was murdered with a golf club at the Golden Keys on the Westfield estate. Does anyone remember this? There was a similar incident in 2002 and I wondered if my mind was playing tricks on me but I seem to remember the story doing the rounds whilst I was still at school. Any info would be much appreciated!
  3. The Richmond pub is still open but I wondered if anyone knew who the guy is on the pub sign outside???
