A few more Sheffield corrections and suggestions for you:
The Scarborough, Addy Street should be spelt without the first 'O', thus: Scarbrough. This is inconsistent with the seaside resort of similar name, but the inn sign is quite clear on this point. (There's also a plaque on the end of the building showing that it was the “Scarbro Hotel” when constructed in 1867. I'll try to get a better picture showing this – it was nearly dark the other day and my camera didn't focus properly.)
The Bell Hagg (newly added today) and The Sportsman, 57 Benty Lane, S10 5NF should both be in the Crosspool sub-district.
The Rivelin Hotel, Tofts Lane and the New Norfolk Arms, Manchester Road are both in the outskirts of Sheffield: a new sub-district of Rivelin Valley would probably be appropriate.
The New Norfolk Arms is a bit of a puzzle: there used to be a pub of this name on Manchester Road but it has been closed for some years and is now a private house. However, the postcode S6 5SJ in Pubs Galore is not recognised by Royal Mail, and on Google maps it defaults to S6 6SJ as the nearest available option (though this is, perhaps coincidentally, the postcode for the Nags Head in the next valley). There are a few houses further up Manchester Road with the post code S6 6GH; however, the old Rivelin Bridge post office (which used to be at the junction of Manchester Road and Rivelin Valley Road and forms part of the address for the New Norfolk Arms in Pubs Galore) is also closed and is unknown to both Google maps & Royal Mail. I suggest changing the postcode of New Norfolk Arms to S6 6GH and moving the pub (now closed) into the Rivelin Valley area.
The Admiral Rodney and the Wisewood are also on the outskirts of Sheffield, in the village or suburb of Wisewood. Please create a new sub-district for them.
The Freemasons Arms, 383 Walkley Lane should be in the Hillsborough sub-district, as should The Queens Ground, 401 Langsett Road and The Rawson Spring, also Langsett Road.
Nearer to the centre of Sheffield, the sub-districts can get a little confusing. For example, although it is clear that the Scarbrough Arms, the Office, the White Rails, and the Upperthorpe Hotel are in Upperthorpe, and White Hart, Boomerang and Star and Garter are in Netherthorpe, it is not clear what (if any) district the George IV and the Hillsborough Hotel should be in, although they are both farther out from the city centre than the aforementioned seven pubs. (The Hillsborough Hotel, by the way, is definitely not in Hillsborough.) Perhaps it would be best to create new Upper- and Netherthorpe sub-districts for these seven and leave the others as just Sheffield until someone suggests a better idea.
More straightforwardly, the Nottingham House is just down the road from the other Broomhill pubs, so should be moved into that sub-district.
The Fulwood, The Ranmoor and the Bulls Head, 396 Fulwood Road are in the Ranmoor area of Sheffield, which should have its own sub-district too. The Rising Sun, 471 Fulwood Road is arguably in Fulwood, but until someone does argue the point I suggest you stick that in Ranmoor too.
Cheers
