Thread Name: where is the Red House
Subject: RE: where is the Red House
Is the Red House in Solly Street still standing? Best pint of Wards in Sheffield. I was led to believe it was demolished about 15 years ago? If it is still there, then a visit to Sheffield is way overdue.
I went on 3 or 4 times in the late 70's early 80's. Once a year we'd have a special day excursion on the railway, £5 return to Sheffield or York. Always got off at Sheffield as we had 2 hours more drinking time.
The landlady's name was Eileen and she kept a visitors book. Lovely lady. On my third visit there was a different lady behind the bar, I asked after Eileen and was told she had died. I asked the new one her name, "Eileen" she said smiling, "Will you sign my visitors book?" Dewey eyed Michael duly signed.
Happy days.
