AKAMD Â Â 0 #3 Posted April 6, 2020 Many memories of this club, from a child with my parents to being a member myself. Â Let my membership laps in 1981 when my dad died. Â He was on the committee a number of years. Â Last there four years ago for my son's wedding do. Â Dad worked next door at Hillfoot Steel. Â The snooker balls used to dance when the big hammer was being used. Â Mum and dad loved their dancing there. Â It was a working mens' club then of course; not sure when that changed. Â Another piece of my life disappearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jim Hardie   496 #7 Posted April 8, 2020 Sorry to see the Staff shut down. There are very few old style pubs like this left in the city. No chance of getting the licence back I shouldn't think.  Coronavirus: Pub shut down for 'shamelessly' serving https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-52219623  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alcohol and social distancing don't go well together.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
