Now that most community pubs have gone they want to hike beer prices in supermarkets. They won´t be happy until we are all sat at home sipping Horlicks every night. Thing is we don't drink at home, we go out to socialize and have a few, so no pubs I'll be teetotal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Used to be a good night out on Langsett Road, Masons, then onto Burgoyne, past the Cuthbert on to King George V, then head back to the Wellington (now Hillsborough Hotel), and finish with after-bird in the Cuthbert. Only the Masons and the now Hillsborough Hotel left..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, could always start in Hillsborough beforehand, or do Walkley when it had pubs. Sportsman, then the Crown, across to the Florist, onto the top Freedom, one in the Rose, down to the Palm, round the corner to the Belle Vue, and late finish in the bottom Freedom. No wonder I always used to be skint! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, you also had the Royal Hotel and Heavygate, then a short wander to Commonside with the Springy, the Closed Shop and the Hallamshire Arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas those times will never ever come back as most of the ale houses mentioned have either been knocked down or converted to other use.

Yeah, I usually pass the Anglers at the weekend when visiting the mother-in-law and noticed it seemed shut (it was one of the few pubs that closed for the afternoon at 3pm even before the lockdown). The Last Post across the road has been closed for a while and is now a convenience store. Used to go with the Anglers a few times myself during the early 90's. I think they still run a minibus to away games (well, they did before the shutdown!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
