Hi Sheffield hatter,
I think i can sort out your problem.
The Bull and Oak was a small pub with bay windows either side of its entrance,the pub was a Whitbread tied house and its address was 76-78 the wicker
the pub changed its name to the Front Room and was demolished in 1998.
The Brown Cow was a larger three storey pub that was at 68 the wicker,i think this pub is now a fast food outlet.
Cheers Alan
That sounds about right. The Brown Cow is the one with the photos that show a Halal Fried Chicken takeaway, but it's been mistakenly labelled as the Front Room. I'm sure Dave will be able to sort it out when he gets around to going through the That Doesn't Go There forum.
Cheers
Hi agian Sheffield hatter,
I had a good crawl in Sheffield on 9 November 1985 but with no camera.
The wicker was a really good short street for pubs
These were the pubs i did on the wicker that day
Station Hotel Tetley tied house
The Viaduct Tetley tied house
Bull and Oak Whitbread tied house
Brown Cow Stones tied house
New White Lion Tetley tied house, this was a really nice pub
Big Gun Stones tied house.
I also noticed that you did a short review of the Meadow Street Hotel this was a Wards tied house that i did in 1983 when i did a Wards pub crawl in Sheffield,i did 24 of their tied houses plus 2 other pubs in one day.
I wish i had taken photos of them as i bet most have now gone for good.
Cheers Alan
The Sation Hotel a Tetley tied huse
Just one of these is still open (the Big Gun), but only one has been demolished (Bull & Oak). The only one I've been in was the Station - long before I moved to Sheffield I came here for a football match (Luton at Hillsborough) and had a pre-match drink there - around 1986, I think. It is now used as a temporary hostel for asylum seekers.Quote:
