Ashley 288 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Went to Sheffield Saturday, what a ****hole! That said all the pubs I saw were open and looked busy, not just city centre either, and as for the villages on outskirts never seen so many pubs! some fit cyclists out there too, average road is like the north face of the eiger, people there don't have dogs, they take mountain goats for a walk.

Ashley 288 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 what, you get smuggled around in a carpet van? The Boulevard was a large place, had staff bedrooms on top floor, (one landlord flogged all the old doors from them to a pine stripper!) 1970's had disco's upstairs loads of birds in hot pants!, trying to think of doorman's name, lived near me, well known guy, badly injured falling off the old forest stand when it was being demolished, White Hart Glasshouse Street has scaffolding all around it as has White Swan at Old Basford Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 No the Wheelhouse is still the Wheelhouse still poisoning people.

Limey 242 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Took a nostalgic trip to Trent Lock today - only to find the Steamboat Inn is closed (again) - looks like recently too. The Navigation was open, so I had my lunch there - a pint of Theakston's Mild to wash it down! Luvverly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 used to drink mild nothing else , on occasion now (usually after a few bitters) forget and ask for such, often get a vacant look, but now and then get it, tastes very different to how I remember, sort of caramel or liquice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Can't get it at all round here !!! When I first came over in 97 every pub sold it !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Another (this time thriving) local pub is to close, albeit possibly temporarily. The Sherwood Inn is to close it's doors. Considering that two other pubs, The Sherwood Manor and The Punch and Judy have recently been closed due to suspected arson attacks, the choice is getting fairly thin in Sherwood.
