May 2025. Sheffield. “Let’s take a random trip on t’ tram” I said to Mrs RM on a rare Saturday At Home. The first tram from Cathedral said “Herdings Park“, so we jumped on that to the end of the line. It’s a park, and housing estate 20 minutes south-east of town, with a remarkable… Continue reading £3.50 PINTS AT THE BROTHERS ARMS

ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 1,073 – HAGGLERS CORNER
April 2024. Sheffield. 3 years in Sheffield and we still haven’t really got to grips with London and Abbeydale Roads, the lanes snaking south from the centre and United’s ground, so on an increasingly blustery Saturday I set off to remedy that. I really must see Dr John Cooper Clarke live, while I still can;… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 1,073 – HAGGLERS CORNER
HALVES IN HEELEY
5th February 2023. Any sensible person would have said “Bye” to Jim B after the White Lion and let him find his own way back through the dangerous back streets of south Sheffield to the station, but us tickers look after our own and I knew there were wild animals in Heeley. And I always… Continue reading HALVES IN HEELEY

TOP 100 PUBS – THE BROTHERS ARMS, SHEFFIELD
9th January 2023. Sheffield has been looking gorgeous this new year, so I can’t be too unhappy about being stuck near home due to rail strikes and a fair few GBG pubs (micros, obviously) deciding to shut for the month. Can’t blame them. I’ve rediscovered cinema*, might even get a season ticket to The Light,… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE BROTHERS ARMS, SHEFFIELD
A SHEAF VIEW
3rd January 2023. Looking at the photos for today’s blog I was wondering why there weren’t exciting ticking trips to Birmingham and Tamworth and Newcastle at the start of the year. Then I remembered the train strikes. So you’ll have to make do with some more Sheffield, as I explore the area south of the… Continue reading A SHEAF VIEW
ANTIQUE SHOPPING IN HEELEY
The Privileged Few get their advance copy of the new Good Beer Guide (2022) in the next week, and the whole process of GBG ticking starts afresh. My Ticking Year (£25.99 via Amazon) will come to an end when the Guide is officially released on 12 November (ideal Christmas present for your niece) and the… Continue reading ANTIQUE SHOPPING IN HEELEY
HEELEY : THE ARTISAN VIEW
Just like our blessed future release from Lockdown, my exploration of Sheffield’s never-ending suburbs must be cautious and taken in short doses. Having passed Heeley’s Antiques Quarter half a dozen times this year, today I took Mrs RM to view the culture and crumbling edifices of London Road/Artisan View, one of the better names for… Continue reading HEELEY : THE ARTISAN VIEW
