Ido not know who owned it but it was a great club in it's day .Great days I can remember every time we went in it was full of footballers from the Lane Len Badger Ted Hemsley T C  Geoff  Salmons. We used to go to Monsall Dale hotel or the Lathkildale hotel race back and in the Farthing for the last hour or so.Great memories great times the best era of them all.

Don't recall seeing TC in there (doesn't mean he never was) as he got married about two weeks after joining the Blades when he was 18 in 1968. Great place with Double Diamond on draught.

Tony Currie used to go in with John Hope, I saw them there a couple of times and I wasn't a regualar patron. Wasn't the club owned by one of the large entertainment groups, not Rank but the name escapes me.
