The pub is an iconic Sheffield venue that has been part of the local landscape for more than a century. Back in 1898 a plan of the venue showed it had three rooms and a single bar.
The renovation work, the first to be carried out for a decade, includes the construction of a new patio at the front of the venue.
Scaffolding has been erected all around the building and the renovation work appears to be quite extensive, although it won’t be clear exactly what changes have been made to the venue until its reopening.
