Am hoping to do an update post tomorrow because a couple of hours searching on the net has thrown up some interesting facts (but not its date of construction alas) especially the identity of the oub iy replaced. And obviously I have to go and get a picture....wee beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922755344809968104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87120916463415542.post-84089562046646327072012-05-12T17:23:59.266+01:002012-05-12T17:23:59.266+01:00With this kind of pub, those running it have to be...With this kind of pub, those running it have to be careful not to allow it to be taken over by knobends.<br /><br /><i>"am not going to make any suggestion as to your vintage"</i><br /><br />Let us say I have just about been alive in seven different decades, and have legally drunk in pubs in five.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87120916463415542.post-43788696833843785842012-05-12T17:17:45.776+01:002012-05-12T17:17:45.776+01:00Interestingly, rooting around on the tinterweb I d...Interestingly, rooting around on the tinterweb I discovered that this is a Barracuda group "Juniper"(?) branded (I dare not ask!) pub. A bit surprising since all they seem to do is bars, whereas this is quite a traditional local, albeit in a newer building - lots of old gents supping when I got in early doors yesterday. Perhaps I need a look in the bar room. Either way, real ale at £1.79 and one room with no T.V's in (or not too prevalent) isn't so bad.wee beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922755344809968104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87120916463415542.post-89601204082986342852012-05-12T16:56:35.103+01:002012-05-12T16:56:35.103+01:00Thanks, am not going to make any suggestion as to ...Thanks, am not going to make any suggestion as to your vintage, but in the seventies I was probably a good 12 years (at best) too young to notice. And i being a fifties pub would make sense, as I can't imagine there would have been much building immediately after the war. <br /><br />Would be interesting if the hatch is still used, even if only to serve the families that are often sat outside. Hopefully a return visit can be arranged (with pen and paper for notes this time).wee beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922755344809968104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87120916463415542.post-30816058266494825262012-05-12T16:49:26.751+01:002012-05-12T16:49:26.751+01:00I'd say it was 1950s from the look of the arch...I'd say it was 1950s from the look of the architecture. <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=anglers+rest+sheffield&hl=en&ll=53.371674,-1.397077&spn=0.002128,0.005681&hq=anglers+rest&hnear=Sheffield,+South+Yorkshire,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=53.371937,-1.397119&panoid=mItOssNG9CWpgfuztt3rJQ&cbp=12,288.22,,0,0.17" rel="nofollow">StreetView link here</a>.
