There are plans to convert the The Bell Hagg Inn into a house
Plans to convert a derelict Crosspool pub into a seven bedroom house will be considered by the council planning board on Tuesday.
The Bell Hagg Inn on Manchester Road has stood empty for years but the new proposals would see the two buildings turned into a single dwelling and extended. A two-story structure would also be demolished. Planning officers are recommending that the new scheme is approved.
Loxley Valley Protection Society is critical of the plans, but Rivelin Conservation Group has welcomed the proposal.
The former pub is located opposite the entrance to Valleyside Garden Centre, and its position offers commanding views over the Rivelin valley.
The Plough on Sandygate Road is no longer open for business – but should reopen before the end of the month.
The pub is one of several leased and operated by Hawk Inns North Limited. Glenn Thorpe, Director, said: “Due to administrative errors in all our Premises Licences we have had to temporarily close all the pubs operating within the Sheffield Licensing District.
“This is not a particular problem specific to The Plough as all our pubs will reopen with Temporary Event Notices on the 28 of July for periods of four days at a time and then will be fully open again from 11 August.”
A sign in window of the pub (pictured below) states that an alcohol licence was re-applied for on 15 July 2011.

Crosspool Centenary Walk: the three lads and Crosspool Tavern landlord Andy
On Saturday 30 July, three local tradesmen will embark upon the arduous task of completing a 100 mile non-stop walk around some of the region’s landmark beauty spots. The walk will encompass much of the Mayfield Valley, parts of the Peak District and Pennine Trail.
The purpose of the exercise is to raise funds for Weston Park Cancer Unit, with a target of £10,000.
Scott Graham, a local electrician and former British Tae Kwon Do champion will be joined by Andrew Fisher, a tree surgeon and Tom Faulkener, a builder to circumnavigate the route. It is expected to take the three men 30 hours.
The mammoth trek will begin at the Crosspool Tavern at midday. The route covers Ladybower, Strines, Midhope Reservoir, Dunford Bridge, Broomhead Reservoir, Dungworth, Rivelin Dam, Foxhouse and finishing back at the Crosspool Tavern.
Check points will be manned en route and members of the public are invited to join the walk from any one of the seven checkpoints. Scott suggests “the easiest stage will be on our return to the Tavern that is from the car park to the bar.”
The event is the brainchild of Scott, Andrew and Tom, as family members have, or are being treated at the Weston Park facility and they wish to pay tribute to the staffs’ professionalism.
It is envisaged the event will become an annual part of the Crosspool calendar, to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.
Donations should be made payable to Weston Park Cancer Charity with “100 mile walk” written on the reverse. Cheques may be sent directly to Weston Park or handed in at the Crosspool Tavern.

As well as the ever-popular carvery, Crosspool Tavern is now offering a breakfast deal.
For £2.99, you get a sausage, two rashers of bacon and then can help yourself to hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans plus fried and scrambled eggs. There is also a vegetarian option with Quorn sausages. Tea, coffee and toast is extra.
Breakfast is available from 8-11am Monday to Saturday and 9-11am on Sundays.
