Back to the local Sheffield walks (no further than 5 miles, honest Guv), with a walk round the ill-defined area known as Manor, which may or may not be a similar estate to Manor in Newcastle. Someone will know.
My objective is to visit ALL the Sheffield pubs externally before the 12th and compile a must-visit list.
I think I have a winner.
OK, it’s not in the greatest area of Sheffield, strewn with rubbish and dog mess, but there are refreshment stopes en-route…
The Manor Castle pub gave its name to a ruined castle at which Mary Queen of Scots invented the first artisan pizza oven.
There’s a huge potential garden with views over industrial Sheff and the cemetery.
Some better photos of the area are on travelbloom’s Instagram; Ann was lucky enough to miss us by an hour on Saturday.
I see handpumps, possibly Tetley, but What Pub promises keg.
It may be a stiff walk from the Park Hill flats, but I can’t wait.
“Back to the local Sheffield walks (no further than 5 miles, honest Guv),”
Would Plod ask to see ID (with address), then punch it into Google Maps to ensure you are not, um, lying? 😉
“Someone will know.”
I can tell you that it’s not me who knows. 🙂
“My objective is to visit ALL the Sheffield pubs externally before the 12th and compile a must-visit list.”
Jolly good idea!
“but there are refreshment stopes en-route…”
Posh!
“at which Mary Queen of Scots invented the first artisan pizza oven.”
I bet she pinched that from a passing Neapolitan merchant.
“It may be a stiff walk from the Park Hill flats, but I can’t wait.”
I’m guessing it will be a stiff walk due to your, um, excitement. 😉
Cheers
PS – And yes, early posting yet again. My darling wife is on another video call.
