i saw something on here about Byards Leap up on Norfolk park.

Wasn't Byard a magical horse or unicorn or something....

 

something else, not a strange pub name but what about the "top" Freedom and "bottom" Freedom on Walkley.....you could spend all night going from one to another looking up folks - good job they were connected by Freedom Road (there's a coincidence!)

The Horse and Tiger at Thorpe Hesley was once a one off name, now copied down south.Believed to have been named after a circus visiting the area.

I always remember the bus conductor who used to shout, "ram well in" as the ladies were getting ready to leave the bus at the Ranwell Inn bus stop :)

I should've said 'Male Jungle Fowl'.

Now I am surprised. Nobody has mentioned the 'Bacon Box', originally located on, what was known, as the 'Bank'. This was the bottom bit of Pitsmoor Road. If you'd blinked you'd missed it, the pub I mean, not the road. Don't remember the proper name at all.
