I seem to remember the two Cross Scythes - Totley and Derbyshire Lane being fairly substantial. Mind you, pubs in Sheffield seemed tiny compared to some of the monsters you used to get in mining villages - thinking the Queens in Maltby as an example. Biggest pub I ever went in was in Bordesley Green in Birmingham when I was visiting some friends - can't remember its name but it was like two big mining village pubs in one. Yeah the Queens was a big place, folk lore had it that AlecJeffrey of Donny Rovers beat up two or three miners in there who were baiting him. A lot of big pubs in the boonies,the Squirrel in Dinnington, the Ball Inn in Bramley and my own first local the Atlas in Brinsworth was quite a size in it's early days.

If we're looking further afield, here's one that most football fans will know. https://goo.gl/maps/H6rGYKBfQfUbRtbUA Edit. Link won't work for some reason, but it's the Trafford Park Hotel.

Me too, and I often have problems with links of UK origin, for example, I wasn't allowed to watch the Euros on You Tube, but my streaming app worked anyways. Back to the pub, looks familiar and like most of the old giant pubs, boarded up, or long gone. . What a monster though,must be the daddy of them all.

Or is it better to wait till nearer the football season ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I will get a link to you by personal message before next season if I can figure out how to do it. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
