Sorry to hear about Terry. I used to live in the next yard from 1943 to 1957. My thoughts are with his family.

Hell Long Ago,

 

I enjoyed your post at the end of ''Part 2''. It was like a breath of fresh air from the top of Wincobank Hill :) Looking forward to more.

 

Regards, Peter.

Here is a photo which I snapped in 1990 of the Alexandra Hotel which was at the junction of Carlisle Street East and Scott Street, sadly minus any Firth Brown buildings or terraced housing. The junction with Carlisle Road (known as Crown Hill at this point) is behind me to the right and the junction with Newman Road is behind me to the left.

 

A photo taken on 12th July 1965 can be seen on http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk.

So Crown Hill was actually Carlisle Street.  I never knew that.  Both my Grandparents and Father with his second wife and Aunty lived there and I always thought it was actually called Crown Hill.   Thanks

Crown Hill-with Crown pub at the Sharp Street corner-was Carlisle Road not Street.

My Great grandparents  (Harrison)and grandparents were the landlords of the Alex from around 1910 ---37.  Grandma then moved to the Hallcar Tavern until about 1943, dad was born  at the River Don Inn .

It's actually Carlisle Road. There is a very small photo on Picture Sheffield of Sharp Street (no enlargement tho'), of which the  Crown pub was on the corner of.

Yes St Petre,  The pic number is s19320 . The zoom is Copyright but I hope the page will come up below if you click on Searching Picture Sheffield. I believe the Crown was on the bottom right corner just out of pic....Searching Picture Sheffield

Under Deeds dating back to the 1920's,  on  closure ownership passes to the Wesleyan Reform Union.  At present 2 church members  are doing a caretaker role checking premises  are  ok etc   . On 1st April that stops when ownership passes to  the WRU which has its HQ at Jump near Barnsley.   People from a Sheffield Church  who expressed interest in buying it attended the final service but nothing agreed yet .
