Duke of york Darnall

So sad to see the duke of York on Darnall been demolished,what a pub that was in the 70s 80s had some brilliant nights in there to think it was almost full every weekend always makes me laugh when I think of the small room on the left as you went in lads used to call it the disco room it had one piece of wire through

Ceiling with a red low wattage bulb in but ,I always sat in the darts room used to be a laugh a minute in there think it was Erick the landlord at the time good times good beer stones when it was proper beer stood and looked at it now a pile of rubble

Want to demolish all the rest round it

Must admit I didn’t use the Duke much, I was a Crown and Wellow man(boy).

But I happened to pass there yesterday and thought the same.

Very sad the way it’s turned out down there.

Wot! You want to demolish the Lidl and a legendary chippie?

No not really would reprieve them two shops and pull the rest down

When I first saw that (early morning eyes), I thought it was about the 'Duke of Darnall' but that's another subject.

We used to meet up in Darnall before heading to town on a Friday night.

I remember the little room well, especially the video jukebox.

If it got too full in there my mate would put on a record and accompanying video by Robin Hitchcock called "The man with the lightbulb head"

Soon cleared the room

Anyone remember one Friday night someone brought a goat in on a chain got it a bag of crisps and half of stones true think the lads borrowed the goat from greenthorps garage always outside the garage there, after the goat had a few half’s it was taken back home a bit wobbly

What a story lets hope the goat was not underage

Yes, it sure is!

Yes 'his Grace'.

when my dad met my mum in the 40s, they used to go in duke of york with my grandma and sit round the fire in the little room. then i moved to darnall in the 70s and used to go in there,and the landlord had a bird in a cage on bar,that swore at everyone .so sad to hear its gone

Used to pub crawl all pubs in darnall always ending up in Duke miss my teenage years
