We used to stay around Hillsborough Corner and booze (still do now) in the Shakey and Ball. Last proper local I had in Sheffield was the Gate. There will never be a pub quite like it ever again 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!) where's the last post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, got the name wrong; it was called the Last Orders (appropriately, since it's now shut!!). I don't know if it was previously called the Ship before that.

Geeves Brewery who leased it were jacking it in this month anyway having given a years notice. Hopefully new Tennant's will have real ale on and it'll be a Wednesday pub yet again.

Sam Smiths is like weasel ******** though My parents used to run a Sam Smiths pub in Rural North Yorkshire. They weren't allowed to play any music, have any Fruit Machines, even do advertising, including an A-Board outside the pub, this was about 15-20 years ago. Sam Smith's had largely been a family brewery, with an history of eccentric owner's, despite being a Millionaire many times over, the owner would often walk his dog with a piece of string tied around it's collar, to save having to buy a proper lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
