A bit of a dip into the archive for today’s post. I present here a couple of photographs of pubs in Sheffield. They are from a series of images I made that were going to form the basis of a project I was working on. The project kinda fizzled out, but I have a roll or two of images that I shot for it that I’ve not really done much with (although at least a couple of others have appeared in the blog at various points).
The two photos were taken almost two years ago on a wander around Sheffield city centre on a Sunday, and I’ve chosen these two as they feature the same subject matter – public houses. Despite the seemingly never-ending set of pub closures that is befalling the UK, city centres seem to be less affected, and there are still a wide ranges of places still open and thriving. Although these photos were taken two years ago, both of these pubs are still in business as far as I know, and the areas in which they stand are undergoing a lot of renewal (from old, small industrial units, to new businesses, university facilities and residential conversions). If such a time comes when they are no longer trading, then I’m glad I have these documentary pictures.

Yes. They are both still in business. Not that I frequent either but I’ve passed both when they are open. The Lord Nelson seems to do a roaring trade on United’s match days š
Below is a link to a photoblog that I started a few years ago but admittedly haven’t updated for some time… Both of the pubs in your post are featured and both also have photographs of the pubs at night! (click on the ‘info’ tab on each individual page to see the night shots) The search bar will help you navigate to the pubs themselves…
Best wishes
