Think it might be old crown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tinfoilhat   11 #943 Posted February 28, 2018 No it's under cross keys public house it went to finchwell farm on finchwelll road then on to manor castle . Mary queen of scots is rumoured to have used it  I'm surprised Mary queen of scots wasn't called Mary queen of South Yorkshire and surrounding districts! There can't be a tavern or large house round these parts she wasn't rumoured to have stayed at! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

andycott   10 #945 Posted March 1, 2018 I was a pupil at St Joseph's Handsworth in the early 1960s and someone told us about a tunnel under the garage/car sales place next door, which was derelict at the time. Me and a mate climbed inside and found the tunnel leading out from the cellars. It was brick lined but full of cobwebs and dark and scary for an 8 year old! (If my mum had known (RIP)). We took torches back but only went in a few feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

trastrick   866 #948 Posted March 2, 2018 I'm surprised Mary queen of scots wasn't called Mary queen of South Yorkshire and surrounding districts! There can't be a tavern or large house round these parts she wasn't rumoured to have stayed at!  Years ago, I happened to be working near Loch Leven in East Fife.  On a Sunday walk (everybody used to go for Sunday walks, before there was TV)  An old gentlemen points at an old ruin on the island, and said, "That's where Mary, Queen of Scots, escaped from".  There are amost as many MQOS prisons as there are Cromwell pubs!
