Which was the best pub that closed in Sheffield and why?

From my youth its Marlpes,The stonhouse,the fountain bar and legends (all town) and the white bear in ecco

In recent (ish) times The Sicey at shiregreen and lady's bridge in town and very recently The Highgreave in ecco

the prince of wales division st, the royal oak at intake, the grennel mower lowedges because i was the best barman any of them had not forgetting the woodseats hotel when i was the landlord

they had been to their supplier and got it for you at a huge discount price

Supplier:hihi:. More like nicked from any local shop that they were not banned from.

The Hole in The Wall on the Wicker.

My reply may sound silly but all the pubs were the best as they gave employment and a meeting place to socialise where local news was passed around,most people today call into a supermarket get their drink and go back home to sit in using precious fuel that costs them a fortune to run.Nowdays most of the British pubs as we once knew them have to rely on meals to keep open if at all possible,another thing is smoking having to stand outside in the freezing cold,i agree that any smoker should be segregated from non smokers but go back in time and most pubs catered having seperate rooms such as,Tap room,best room,dram shop,smoking room!!,lounge,etc.In a lot of cases the British pub was a place where lonely people could feel part of their community probably not seeing anyone to talk to through the day but able to chat over a glass or two in the evenings.....LONG MAY A BRITISH PUB REMAIN???? AT THE RATE OF CLOSURE NOT FOR LONG I WOULD IMAGINE..

The Truro Tavern, used to go in there for lunch when I was at Granville college the burgers were absolutely fantastic, beer wasn't bad to say it was Whitbreads.

Happy days. I remember the landlady cooking chips on the bar top with a chip pan & a Primus stove. They also warmed pies in a glass cabinet with no other heat source than a light bulb. They didn't invent salmonella or health & safety until a few years later.

There was also the Montgomery across the road. It was a real dump but had a great juke box. We got it wound up so loud one lunchtime that the roof fell in on top of it.

The Truro Tavern got closed when they widened the road. The Montgomery had the top floor blown off by a bomb in WW2 and they never really got round to repairing it. I think it simply fell down.

Royal Lancers,

Old Light Horseman.

Kings Head Crosspool.

around 2000, opened up as the Casbah, now closed

Hope someone has told the owners and the staff, I was in there last week.

For me, it's The Yorkshire Grey. Not really for the pub, just so they didn't knock the building down.

Pity The Pump got demolished, not a great pub, just some great memories.

I never knew thay had demolished 'The Pump', scrap my previous post, The Pump for me, ah the late eighties/early nineties.

The Cossack and the one where West 1 is now, was it The Hornblower ?

Amazing, that sounds like fun.

We had much fun at the Stonehouse, Golden Ball, Mucky Duck & later on at the Classic Rock Bar watching some fab bands, Strongheart were amazing, all good times.
