The pub as seen from further down Lee Croft.
Right on the corner of Silver Street Head and Lee Croft sits one of Sheffield's more interesting looking pubs. I couldn't find its year of establishment but one website says it dates back to the 1700s, although I would have suspected mid-1800s. The site does say there was apparently a pub that stood on the same spot before the current one and that there is in-depth rumours of ghostly goings-on.
I have only drank in there once (which is surprising as I work around the corner) but it seems a lovely little pub and is always packed after work.

I'm enjoying looking through your blog - I'm contemplating University of Sheffield for September, so I'm interested in the everyday life of the city. Even the first few posts here is giving me a better idea.
Fun photo! What happened to the building? Did it get squished? Nice blog - Kind regards from EAGAN daily photo in Minnesota, USA
Thanks - no, not been knocked down. Still there, nice little boozer.
