My mother lived at this pub c1949 - my grandfather was the landlord before taking the New Inn on Hollinsend Road, Gleadless.

My great grandfather, William Rutter, was the licensee of this pub from about 1912-1918.  He died in 1919. My father was born in 1916 and lived there with his mum whilst his father William Henry was fighting in the war. William had three other sons, one of them was killed in WW1  The family business was carting and they had several horses until the 1950's. There is supposed to be a resident ghost called Tom who usually appeared with a strong smell of alcohol! Truprint who took the pub over supplied me with that information from a newspaper cutting. I wish I had taken up their offer of seeing inside the  old building. Now it is almost unrecognisable.
