As can be imagined there are countless Sheffield pubs - past and
present. Therefore, finding a unique, manageable angle on the
subject to produce a book is difficult. Yet Peter Tuffrey has done
just that featuring endless unique tales about the pubs themselves
and the landlords and landladies running them. Trawling through
literally thousands of newspapers cuttings from the Sheffield Star
and Sheffield Telegraph pub files he has noted subjects and
incidents ranging from pub closures to murders, from retirements to
renovations and from pub bombings to pub ghosts. Many of
Sheffield's pubs were built to coincide with the growth of the
city's steel industry and to slake the thirsts of its workers.
These pubs are pictured and documented in decline or just before
demolition and it is a pity more were not saved to illustrate the
city's rich industrial heritage. We see landlords, landladies and
regulars posing outside and it just goes to show how important pubs
were in terraced communities. Several pages are also given to the
breweries once belching beer fumes across the city air and a number
of the processes are depicted in photographs with pin sharp
clarity. So, raise your glasses to this book - Sheffield Pubs,
Landlords and Landladies.
