Yorkshire64 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My Great Great Great Grandfather was the licensee of the Royal Standard, can anyone help me with the history of the hotel I can't seem to find much information about it, ie when it was built and any other information that may be interesting, as I am not in Sheffield or the UK it is a bit harder to find out much. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this for a starter. https://pubwiki.co.uk/Yorkshire/SheffieldR/RoyalStandardStMarys.shtml https://sheffield.camra.org.uk/2019/02/heritage-pubs-royal-standard/ Trouble with searching for the history for any Pub now a days always end's up with pages of reviews rather than the History. Hope the above is of use. Rocker. Edited June 13, 2020 by Rockers rule additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Daze Suppin in't Standard. The landlord back in 79 would switch the jukebox off if anyone played the B side of the Sex Pistol's 'Something Else' ('Frigging in the Rigging') on it. - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be great. There’s a full list of pubs and their licencees on History Sheffield, not much on the history of pubs though but you just ask a question about the Royal Standard and someone may come up with information for you.

The Royal Standard at one time was one of Ward's Brewer's flagship pubs. I used to go in quite a bit in the 1980's. I assume that's long after your ancestors time, but if you can tell me his name and the era he ran the pub I can have a poke around....you never know what might come up.

fatrajah Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I used to go in there every Friday in 1966/67. The date 1919 sticks in my memory as the date the pub was built. Edited June 13, 2020 by fatrajah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
