I have been checking up on some of the recently added closed pubs in Sheffield. The Adelphi Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/76040/) is listed on Sheffield History website (http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/895-adelphi-hotel/) and there is a photo there (you'll have to create a log in to access it) that bears no resemblance to the one we have on Pubs Galore.
In addition, it seems that the pub was demolished in 1969, and from what I can see of the cars in our photo, it was likely taken a good deal later than that. As a clincher, Arundel Street is a narrow street that just doesn't have that much traffic in it. The definition is too grainy to read what the sign on the front of the building says - it may well say Adelphi Hotel, but if so, it's a different one.
