The big gun

Thanks I knew quite a few of the pubs down there most notably The Viaduct when Sid had it and the New White Lion ran by Malcolm.

 

How things have changed in  the 40 years I have been going to pubs. I find it amazing what's happened to them all.

The Walkley Tavern was a big Wednesday pub

 

Where abouts was that?

 

Lived in Crookes/Walkley area all my life but can't recall "The Walkley Tavern"

 

Maybe "The Walkley Cottage"?

Yes didn’t it change it’s name, is it still the Cottage? Was my local when I first moved to Sheffield

Yea it's still the "Cottage" but I don't remember it ever changing its name, could be wrong though.

 

Finished up in there on the very first date with the missus. Never been in the place since.:rolleyes: (true story)

Burgoyne (Inn, Arms?) just before Kelvin Flats.

Went there for a few jars & ended up getting my first ropey tattoo a few doors down, near Langsett Cycles, Hells Angel's place, full of dangerous looking people.

Barmaid looked EXACTLY like Kate Bush.

Went back a couple of times to try & chat Kate Bush up.

No chance.

Mmmmmmmmmm Kate's Bush.

Did you ever actually go in there?

I never saw anyone going in or out of this place


It was like Willy Wonka's factory

What was it like inside?

No, because I thought it was full of hells angels
