These Sheffield pubs have been abandoned for years - and some are said to be haunted

Some of the city’s pubs were full of life back in the day, but they are now a sorry sight after being abandoned and boarded up.

Across Sheffield, there are dozens of locations, which at one stage in their lives were lively pubs full of thirsty punters.

However, they now remain frozen in time and are abandoned with boarded-up doors and windows – some might even say eyesores.

Some derelict pubs have the potential to rise from the ashes with the right person at the helm and enough funding to revitalise the entire building, but for now, these are pubs in Sheffield that have been left abandoned after closing down for good.

The Fairfield Inn at Neepsend has been closed since June 2007, according to a planning application to restore the Georgian building to its former glory.

Closed down around 2014, the Turf Tavern suffered a similar fate to many other pubs in the city - not making enough profit to keep going.
