The Plough pub temporarily closes

The Plough, Crosspool
The Plough: will reopen at the end of the month

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.

A tribute to Mabel Mabbott

One of Crosspool’s oldest residents, Mabel Mabbott, sadly died on 26 January 2011, aged 92 years old.

Her husband Frank owned and ran a well-respected butcher’s shop on Sandygate Road for over thirty years on the site of what is now Bargain Booze.

Along with most shop keepers of the era, they lived over the shop before moving over 40 years ago to their new home on Barnfield Road.

There is a discussion about memories of old shops in Crosspool on this thread on Sheffield Forum.
