Ecclesall Road Drinking establishments

[Wardsbitter]

Any one think the place ain't what it used to be -personally I think its gone down the nick since they ruined the Nursery but thats a long time ago- any older drinkers have any thoughts?

The Ecclesall Rd area hasn't been the same since they closed down the Jolly Buffer and Rolling Mill.

Has Weatherspoons opened yet? New Pomana isn't a patch on the old one. There again its a different age group now- disapointed with Champs- Best establishment inthat area is the Lescar.

Nursery was ruined and had it's history and character ripped out of it, it's heart, when they finishe Paul Stockdale. All the old regulars stopped going in and now the same Company have done the same job to the Lescar. Champs is not half the place it used to be. They are plastic pubs now and have no depth to them. 35 years of socialising in this area and it's ended up bland and characterless but hey thats progression, we've seen the best times!!!

Hi wardsbitter !

 

Ah, The nursery Tavern. It used to be one of the best pubs in Sheffield !

 

a pleasant mix of business people and students (when they coulds speak

 

English) Vera Jenkins was a formidable landlady - all 4ft 10" of her, but if

 

anyone stepped out of line, wo betide 'em. The best 5 bob hot roast pork

 

sandwiches in Sheffield. If she could see it now from the big brewery in

 

the sky, she would send down some type of thunderbolt !!!!!

Well said Old Sparkey - remember old Pomona?
