Royal Oak, Cemetery Road


Recommended Posts

The Royal Oak is back!!

Do you remember the Royal Oak on Cemetery Road ? Eric and Irene ? Bill and Ann Stanaway ? Handsome Jack ? Stocky ? Tom and Val ?

If so, the old place is back and now known as Delaneys, Steve ( New owner) is a nice guy and reckons Sunday evenings would be the best eveningfor an oldy reunion. So if you remember the late sixties and seventies in the Oak I hope to see you there !!

What a pub it was in the mid sixties.

With

Eric and Irene behind the bar it was the place to be and be seen for a certain section of Sheffields dirty stop outs.

 

The place was that packed on Thurs (Lacarno night) Friday and Saturday that the crowd actually spread upstairs towards the landlords living room.

 

No Juke box all you did was climb the stairs and put Sinatra or Nat King Cole on Eric's radiogram.

 

The Oak was a Mankers paradise as the packed bar rooms made it possible to snuggle up close to your latest Lacarno love from the week before and many of todays older folk first got to close quarters in Oaks once your in your in environment.

 

The Oak was full of chancers,gangsters and Molls and we all loved it .
