Sheffield retro: 11 pictures looking back at Fagan's over the years as much-loved landlords bid farewell

The husband and wife duo who have run the iconic Fagan’s pub in Sheffield city centre for the last 37 years have bid a fond farewell after pouring their last pint.

Tom and Barbara Boulding announced their retirement in September 2022 and closed the pub’s doors as the landlords for the final time last week. Barbara said: “We are done. We closed last night and we leave the building on Wednesday… That’s the end of that. The end of an era. Thank you for the friendships, support and the memories. It’s been quite a ride.”

To honour the couple, and the long-history of the venue, we are taking a trip down memory lane. Do these pictures bring back good memories?
