Fisherman's Rest, Attercliffe

[theimposter 10]

Hello! 

 

I'm looking for info on this pub and I wondered if anyone remembers it? I think it closed around 1980 but I could be wrong and it was a John Smiths house. Any help appreciated!

Wow, there's almost nothing online.

 

I've looked at my Pub book, but no info other than the address (and says closed 70s/80s)

 

Possibly found it on an old map though.

 

Could it be this? link

 

and possibly (using 93 tinsley park road, one of these buildings here

Yes the Fisherman's Rest was a John Smith's pub,(well in the 1950's, 60's,70,s). It's 'rival 'diagonally across the street was the Friendship (corner March Street) lasted a little longer and that was a Stones' house in it's hey-day.

Yes the photo of the boardered up building is what was the Fisherman's. After it closed a.s a pub, I think it was offices for a haulage firm, perhaps Harry Hodges.

Yes  I think that's it, I seem to recall the building coming up to the pavement and not set back from it. Also, at the rear of the Fisherman's was a yard that backed on to the canal, I think they had a couple of accidents (kids falling in) in late 1950's.

Given the info so far, it look like it was here

 

I wonder if any of that old brickwork was part of it?

Yes, you're right, that's exactly where it was. Don't know where I got the 'Harry Hodges' idea from tho'.

I worked for R S Bruce March Street 1980 - 2006.  Remember the Friendship well, but the Fishermans Rest were Offices then If I remember correctly. It seems a long time ago.
