LowMantra   10 #62 Posted October 24, 2009 It was all a facade and was located where Waterstone's is now in Orchard Square. You could get in at the back of the Stonehouse by going down a road which was approx next to where Museum is (off the road where the bookies is). There was also a hairdressers just inside the entrance which is next to the bearded bloke in white on the left. Disappointingly, it was just a store room upstairs for crisps & glasses etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kerleytops   10 #63 Posted October 24, 2009 thanks so much for posting the picture. It was a great place to go in those days and brought back some very happy memories. And after a few drinks, who cared about the line on the ceiling anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lorri   10 #64 Posted October 24, 2009 Just how I remember it it, but not full of young men in suits It'd be the late 70's early 80's when I frequented the Stonehouse and it used to be packed in that courtyard  Did guys have to wear a jacket & tie to get in clubs back then?

simonj   10 #67 Posted October 24, 2009 Around 1979/80 an old shipmate of mine had his stag do in Sheffield and a fair number of the ships company came up for it. During our visit to the Stonehouse I particularly recall one of them asking me "What happens when it rains?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rubydazzler   11 #72 Posted October 25, 2009 I totally loved that courtyard. Somehow, even though you knew that you were indoors, you really felt you were sitting outside on a balmy summer evening with a starry sky overhead. It was never very trendy though, so we didn't go in there that often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
