The Glass Slipper

[tuthill 10]

Can anybody recall a pub, apparently on Cemetery road Sheffield

 

Called the " The Glass Slipper"

 

This wasn't the actual name of the public house but what everyone called it

 

I'm told it had a female landlord + reputation for serving "after hours" + was popular with "the boys in blue" for a pint after their late shift ended (allegedly)!

 

If so what was the pubs proper name + whereabouts on Cemetery Rd was it ?

 

Thanks! (on behalf of 2 elderly gentlemen "going mad" trying to remember it !)

it was known as the silver slipper not the glass slipper.

it was on the opposite corner to the vine

pub on the same side going up cemetery road

Hello..Thanks for that....I take it the silver slipper was just what the locals called it as I can't find it listed on the Sheffield history pub name pages.Thanks..

The Sunderland Social Club ' was on the corner of Cemetery Road and Sunderland Street [ about halfway up Cemetery Road ]. The Vine was very near to it on another corner. The S.S. was jokingly called the ' Silver Slipper ' by its varied clientele.

No idea, unless its just the initials (SS) or some sort of reference to the Famous casino that used to be in Vegas?
