Sheffield Books

The definitive guide including many pubs that have since been demolished. The author challenges any reader to find a public house that is missing from the guide. After many years, ten to be precise, of sifting through history books, making local studies and visiting libraries, Michael Liversidge published his book on Public Houses in 1999. It features about 2000 pubs on 200 pages and includes over 600 pictures. Some public houses have only sparse information, others have a story to tell, like the Little Corner pub where three murders took place. Pub names are explained, including those derived from the local trades, sport, military, royalty, local and national heroes, plus the bemusing names of today’s ‘concept’ pubs.
