BrainThrust Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks RPG you have obviously done your homework. I still won't miss it tho ... I would be more upset if the one in the Bus Station was to go cos thats been there forever! That's a listed building AFAIAA, and the oldest pub in Sheffield. The Old Queen's head will be here for a very long time. Wilf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPG Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm sure it's the Old Queens head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Queen%27s_Head%2C_Sheffield Wilf Yes, that pub was owned by George Talbot who was the person who commissioned Alton Lodge, which thanks to further earl's of shrewsbury (namely John) became Alton Towers how we see it today.

Degetal Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I currently work at the Queen's Head... It's not the oldest pub in sheffield, it's the oldest commercial building in Sheffield. The bod was right about the Nailmaker's being the oldest pub. We were a hunting lodge first AFAIK. Whether it's haunted is another matter - I've never seen anything personally...
