We asked readers to share with us their memories of that first visit to one of Sheffield’s boozers, and got some great results.
Here, we share some of those memories, including their trips to long some long gone venues in the city, after we asked readers on our Facebook page: “What was the first pub you went to in Sheffield, what year was it, and what was it like?”
A common theme among those older readers was that they were not 18!
Check the memories in the captions for each of the pubs photographed.
