crookedspire   10 #25 Posted February 25, 2016 Tea Gardens pub is a unusual name any connection to the Boston tea party I can't really see tea leaves been grow at Sheffield?  ---------- Post added 25-02-2016 at 18:25 ----------  The "round house", at the bottom of Heeley Green'? I believe that is the nickname of the Victoria due to part of the facade been rounded at the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookedspire   10 #27 Posted February 25, 2016 Tea gardens was originally the Saracens head.  That's interesting , Saracens Head has connections to Turkish soldiers so at some point in the pubs life it was renamed Tea Gardens I wonder why ?

stpetre   12 #29 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Can't help there,but i'm still in touch with the old landlady see if she knows.know years back it was a coaching inn that could be it.  The 'Tea Gardens' was on Grimesthorpe Road in the Burngreave/Ellesmere area of Pitsmoor and adjacent to the pub was a small cul-de-sac, Tea Garden Terrace that was there up to the late '60s. As for far away place connections Turkey and Boston (I presume Massachusetts U.S.A.) I fail to see the connection. However, I can understand that the place may have been a coach inn as Grimesthorpe Road (Gower Street to Upwell Lane) and Carlisle Street East (Sutherland Road to Upwell Street) were the longest in that area.

I am not joking, google it Thought that might happen so we shall say testes and you will get the drift.  Don't know about that one but is seems there's some kind of competition for outrageousness.  Filthy McNastys, Scruffy Murphys and the Snail and Lettuce (they sold food) all seemed to do well in Toronto!
